The dent is gone!!!

The BIG crease dent is gone gone gone!!!! The dealership had the dent guy come out. He said - no biggie. It was $110, and it was a DEEP crease. Was not a stress dent. Ken, seem like the charge was fair? Do I need to do anything special to care for it? Like not to push a PC on it too hard?

Yah baby! I bought a 3 yr dent repair with the MINI so door dings would be covered. Now can the guy get rid of the that ol'poop stain?

cool! $110 isn't bad for a crease at MSRP done at the dealer. at the
end of the day if you're happy with the repair and the service you got,
money doesn't really matter.

i recommend you not pushing on it with your finger or anything (duh)
but otherwise should be okay. just be gentle in that area. using
PC should be fine as you aren't going to be pushing down that hard
on it anyway...meaning, if the pad stops rotating back off.

Oh, it was beautifully done. Is was a BIG crease - about 4 inches long, and was deep, too. Now you can't even tell that it was there. Thanks for the tip, Ken!!

Oh, and poop stain still there. But I am confident now that I can get that out with the PC!!
