You don't need a "good deal"! You're an ortho surgeon! Thats why your sporting a Affalterbach edition, right? Right.

Haha, orthopods make a lot less up here in Canada then you can in the states. Dont get me wrong, still good money but take a stroll in a doctors parking lot in Boca Raton and then one in Canada... And plus who doesn't want a good deal.

I feel your pain...I stress each time I park it somewhere...it reminds me of the first time I ever parked my old c350 in a parking lot 2 years ago...came back, a big scratch and bump magically appeared on my driver door!

vcruiser

hahah awesome! Looks great!

OK got estimate from autolux friday... 3500-4000$.

Need to repaint door + front fender (also damaged, missed it!)

So big money for a scratch that would cost 500$ on a regular paint car!

Try Autoworkx 1410 St-Amour neer my office !

Thanks Anthony for the tip. I went to Jaguar detail shop on Chomedey today (I always go there in the spring for the "big" detailing). They have great guy who does dent removals. He had to remove the door to go from underneath and he managed to do a damn good job. The dent is completely gone.

The next step was the scratch. after the 4k estimate from last week, I was a bit worried. He got details over the weekend that matte paint could be buffed and then "debuffed" with a special paste (made by 3M). We did a trial inside the hood (where we buffed last friday and it was shiny) and it came back pretty good with just a quick rub. We then made a trial inside the door frame since the door was off. Again prettyimpressive results.

So he went ahead and buffed the scratch on the door... it was shiny as hell but with an eggshell kind of fiinish (I was thinking to myself "buff the whole damn thing to a shiny silver and get over with it... but with that eggshell thing, it was not a possibility!...). After the paste the result is quite good. Not perfect but 90% from perfect. It is still a bit shinier but you really have to look hard and focus on the area. He did a blend to soften it up. All in all, for 325$, they made me like the car again!! Plus I have an estimate from the Jaguar bodyshop at 1300$ for a repaint if I decide the result is not good enough. Way better than 4000$!!

I showed it to a friend wgo didn't know where the scratch was and he couldn't tell after looking hard. After telling him then he said "Ya I can see a bit of a difference but..." So quite happy guy here. I love the car again!

Glad you got it fixed on the cheap.
I'm sure the more you live with it, it will become even less noticeable.

And at least you got a game plan for the next time something happens.

Hey kart: is there ANY chance you could get the two product names he used and post them here?

blackstar

Is anyone's BS metering going off the chart with our so-called ortho surgeon here? Lol, I mean, you go through all that education but still writes with elementary school level grammar? Pics post of your car Kart

ZephyrAMG

I don't believe what a majority of people type on forums and sites...people have been called out before and some people have been demoslished as a result, never to show thier faces again so to speak...

What gets me is the showboating...

vcruiser

yeah that jaguar/land rover detail shop is amazing!
Had my Range Rover sport fully detailed there a few weeks ago and the price was great too!

kart125

Sorry I dont have the product names but I can get them for you. I will call at the shop to ask.

As for my grammar, I'm sorry to have offended some of you, but since I'm a french canadian, I consider my english is pretty good (better than some american folks on here for sure!).

Relax and enjoy your cars guys! This is what this forum is all about!

here is the link for the product. Make sure you apply it with a wet cloth/sponge and "scuff it" lightly, wiping it off with a wet clean cloth. I would probably take the car to a detail guy if I was you.

kart125

Not sure about your grammar either blackstar... but shouldn't it read "write" instead of "writes" since you are referring to the 2nd person ("you")?

Thanks kart! I will give it a try on a hidden area. I'm more meticulous than any detail guy I've ever met. I have a tiny shiny spot in my brand new 049 magno cashmere.

BTW don't sweat the grammar *****. Most of us English speakers don't know an orthopedist from an arthropod.

Wow. Pot? This is kettle. You're black.

(Seriously blackstar - that was the funniest thing I've read in months. You made a fool of yourself with that post.)

(Unless you claim to have made the errors in your post deliberately and ironically. If that's the case, MY BS meter will be going off the chart.)
