Post some pictures up of the parts you are discontent with. I know all about wrecked cars
My front bumper is so ****ing tweaked it pisses me off. It's partially my fault though....I have to get that **** sanded down and repainted one day.

Is it possible to find someone who can buff a car to get that mirror finish it had when it was new.. im sure you guys have been under parking lot flourescent lights.. and everything shows up.. swirls, scratches, dents..everything...and you just cringe...

Yeah I need to get mine buffed too. I am a dumbass and used what I thought was a soft enough cloth to remove wax from my roof. Apparently not. I can see swirls but not bad. It sucks to know I did it myself lol. IDIOT!

For all of you guys that want your car buffed, do what I did and just buy the variable speed buffer and everything needed yourself. I did it and the stuff only cost me around $275. I did my last car and the paint looked like glass afterwards but now I still owne the equipment so now I can do my GT if I want to and I won't need to pay someone else to do it. It can be dangerous doing it yourself but sometimes its better to learn something new.

yea i bought a orbital buffer.. because they are safe and no matter how retarded you are, you cannot screw up the clear coat on your car. I used maguires scratch-x and it looked beautiful for like 2 days.. then back to normal...
The body shop thta painted my car was full of a bunch of dumbasses. They told me as soon as i wash the car and dry it that it leaves swirls on fresh paint. I dont konw whether to believe that or not. It has spider-web looking scrathes in the paint... very fine swirls...
