You need to try the Nano Magic cloth. You won't even need to go thru with the claim. Works bad a$$, read the reviews on the link below. Hope no one was hurt.

One word of caution, or a suggestion from me, regarding the handling of the insurance claim by the insurance companies.

Watch the accident case progression through the insurance companies very closely, to ensure that the final case settlement has the other driver 100% at fault, and your wife at 0% fault. My wife had a similar experience, and everything sounded OK at the scene of the scene of the accident and exchange of insurance information. Unfortunately, the other driver later stated to his insurance company that my wife actually caused the accident by hitting him (which was clearly not the case), and the two insurance companies finally settled by agreeing that BOTH drivers were at 50% fault each.

This was a win-win for both insurance companies, as each paid for only 1/2 of the total damage costs, and then both insurance companies got to raise the premiums for both drivers, as they were both at fault. Of course, it was a lose-lose for my wife.

Thankfully my insurance contacted my wife and I and stated that the other driver gave the exact description of the accident as we did admitted fault. That call was recorded as well so its documented. Now I wait for contact from his to get a repair estimate setup and get a shop date reserved.

biggest thing now is sticking with not signing shit until everything is completed with repairs so they can not wiggle their way out of something.

It's a shame we all carry insurance that is sold as covering your vehicle with no problems and then have to watch for the shimmy shake crap.

Brandon, that truck did its job, protected your wife from the knuckleheads around her. First thing I noticed was the broken sidewall on that tire, definitely ditch it.

Not only the bad tire but cracked wheel as well. Spare was put on then and there I left work to handle things at the scene.

I have had a enough "fender benders" to be able to guess an estimate pretty close..

Not the way you drive that's hard to believe....

99% of the time it has been the other persons fault, yes I tend to accelerate faster than most people but I also pay attention to my surroundings, except certain misplaced aahem "stop signs"
