Default Backed into a car

Umm so those of you who know me and saw me today saw me back into a car. I need recommendations on how to fix the z. I tried scratch xing polishing and then topped it with two layers of wax. It made it better, but its still there. Should I just wait until my entire z goes into the body shop to have the fender quarter panel and fronmt bumper to be repainted, and just get the rear bumper repainted then? ANy body shop reccomendations.

Know how you feel, I back mine into my friend's 300ZX TT. Same scratches. But we took both our cars to a shop here that does all the BMW's, Porsches, etc. He like makes them look brand new, and clear coats the heck out of it also. Even comes with a warranty. The guy's great and at adecent cost. He does mostly all high end cars (mercedes, porsches, etc.), definitely knows his job. Just find a good shop where you're at and take care of it. I couldn't stand it when I did it myself. Good Luck.

I saw the whole thing, he was barely rolling back and just tapped the other car...it really only took the dirt off of it. I'm sure you can buff them out, you just need something a tad more aggressive. Both cars literally have scuffing and that is it.

Mackie--If you wanna swing by my house on Saturday before the Ferrari meet i can donate a few minutes of my time to it and get it out.

I am still wondering who owns the car, nobody up their knew what we were talking about. hahaha

It's Scott's. The workers knew it was Scott's and they told him later that day.

Where exactly did you hit the car? He said he couldn't find anything wrong with it, but the fact that you just drove off without bothering to tell him was wrong.

Mackie, I hate it when those Eclipses jump out of nowhere behind you when they are parked. Just get a body shop to look at it and tell them to fix the front while they are at it.

We asked around up there and nobody said anything, we tried to let the owner know but apparently there wasn't an owner that day, he definately didn't just walk off and not say anything.
