The scrape can be air brushed. the color will match, but, as my 'paint guy' says: we just put paint in the defect.

Should look fine from about three feet away... certainly better than it does now. In my shop, the charge would typically be $80, and that would include any other small areas on the car.

When selecting a detailer, certainly have them give you a firm price, after inspection. Does the detailer have a professional demeanor? Is the work area professional? A short conversation with the detailer should give you an idea of the skill level involved.

Ask if they use a Porter Cable Dual Action Buffer. While not mandatory, a yes answer shows they are fairly current with their technique.
