Are there any clear coat applications that will withstand mechanic carelessness, just wondering? I would not mind investing a few hundred in a product like that!

I'm thinking bringing in with me my own fender mats, some sort of side door guard, along with the painters tape that was suggested next time, i will have to have my car protected like its going into battle, this is really a shame. I been googling on this subject for the last half hour, not much...

Front cowling? This leads me to ask, is there a section on this site dedicated to products in protecting my car from mechanical work/damage?

Dcjredline I don't know that sounds like a cop out, yes it is a daily, but something flying off a rear tire from the car in front of you is one thing, ineptness in a dealership is another. How did you know in driving those 15 miles you would find a great dealership, trial and error? I am not...

Thats a great story Dmb5450 yes i work hard for my vehicle's payments, and i also take pride in my cars appearance. The last thing i expect is for a dealership to damage my vehicle. I have not got these survey cards/emails but i sure look forward to getting one. Thanks!

Thanks for responding, my oil changes are free for three years myself. I have not yet complained to corporate i figure if i complain every time i go to a dealer for service i will eventually run out of dealers to go to so idk.

I love the painters tape idea, thanks

I just went for an oil change today. My last oil change that I got from the Nissan dealer which is literally an 8th of a mile from my house, after getting my car back I notice two small nicks at the nose of the hood. I complained to the service manager who didn't seem to give a hoot. I then...

Tire dressing? You folks are hardcore...lol...thanks for all your replies. I used a regular snow brush lightly last night for the first snow removal on my car, looks like it will be the snowbrum for me going to order one now, thanks again!

Does it matter what kind of snow brush i use for removing snow from my vehicle? I would hate to use the wrong brush and damage the finish, thanks!

yes the collision repair shop is a reputable one with good reviews, one of the best in the area, i am sure the painters are ASE certified, but just to make sure i will ask

What kind of certified, whats the industry standard? He mentioned about the bumpers being painted differently then metal on cars, and there is a vin on the original that's why he recommended repair. Of course i will keep you informed

I found a guy that does not recommend a new one, he will be taking the bumper off and inspecting in my presence, he guarantee's show room look for reasonable dollar. complain?? Thats history, it was Christmas day and i didn't do it, i am not going to second guess myself, or discuss moral code...

What do you mean damage underneath? The bumper unpainted is $400.00 Its a brand new car i'm not going to do that Wouldn't chance that i will just pay the piper

Not sure how hard, i mean whether he applied brakes or no through my rear veiw it looked like about 25 mph...so your saying i will need a new bumper? Will be getting several estimates later today!

How much would i be looking at for a new bumper? (Ball park) Look again at the bumper (new pic circled), the crease that is circled. I need to mess around with it, i wasn't exactly a boyscout in this scenario, i rather not get into specifics but he was definitely drunk, i did him a favor by not...

Last night i was the victim of a drunk driver who rear ended my new car, and i sustained bumper damage. My question is can i repair my bumper and color match the paint to factory code or should i get a new bumper. Thanks!

thank you

The rubbing Alcohol left on for 10 minutes removed it like a charm, thanks a lot Whip, your the man!

Well the way i understand it there are several brands and processes for preserving paint, i wanted to see what you folks prefered, not what the professionals prefer, professionals often don't have the best interests in the car in mind...to answer your question a few months of protection would be...
