Paint hardness and machine polishing

[Quark]

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I don't want to clutter Quarks thread with my mess. But I do appreciate you answering me.



I have seen some amazing PDR done to some pretty banged up cars. You could inquire in your area for someone who specializes in PDR and see if they can come out to give you a quote to fix the hood. Then send the bill to the dealership

Talked with the service manager who said bring it by to look at the dent. I was expecting them to refuse responsibility which could still happen. Next town over and at least two trips to remedy the problem just added $30 in gas to the price of that oil change. I remember when a $100 used to buy more than an oil change plus the hassle of fixing their mistake.

I have a bad history with oil changes, one wrecked vehicle, this is the second dent on the hood, scratches across the hood where the hose scraped it. Oil slung down the side of the vehicle and greasy threshold and floor mats is the expected damage that I just clean up.
