Greetings from Pittsburgh!

[Cold Fuzion]

It's amazing how much you think you know until you talk to the pros.

Me, I didn't actually talk to a pro, but I did see a series of very well-produced video tutorials that convinced me to step up my game in caring for my '08 Ford Fusion.

I took the first step last week and bought a Griot's Garage DA. It arrived on Monday. Oddly enough, the very same day, some jackass dinged my bumper in the parking lot and drove off. Now I'm looking at $350 from a local body shop to take care of a few scratches down to the primer

Oh well - live and learn. At least I'll be able to take care of the smaller stuff I've noticed. It's good to be here and I hope to learn a lot more from you all! :xyxthumbs:

Welcome aboard! During the week I'm 2 hours South of you and work with lots of Pittsburgh fans.

Sorry to hear of the mishap... body shops are usually good at spraying on paint but notorious for then buffing out the paint and instilling swirls. So inspect the repair in good light and if you see any swirls you can easily remove them with your Griot's Garage DA Polisher.

Title refers to dealerships but practically speaking it includes body shops and even detailers...

I love their sandwiches. I have not been there in a while.
