RE: My Car has Been Damaged
Didnt they buff/wax your whole car?
When they did my car (black) it all looked so wet.. so clean.. made we want to never drive it again!
My shop used good materials.. and like buffed it for 20 minutes, waxes another 20.. and then buffed.. blah blah...
The shop I took mine too worked specifically on German vehicles.. there were some nice mercedes and porches there

Well, you might consider choosing the best of all the 'insurance approved' body shops. Then after the work is done, take it to a really nice body shop and tell them you want the body work critiqued. They should point out all the flaws in the work. Then go back to your insurance company and say, "My policy says that my car will be restored to the state it was in prior to the accident, here's a list of what is still wrong." You might get some runaround, so I would clear this up with them before they even begin repair work, but they should pay for the work to restore it to prior condition.

It means it was either preped poorly or they have a shitty paint booth, it means they didnt color sand it and probably just cleared over all that crap, id take it sone where and make the insurance pay to have it done to like new
