thers careless driving (big pics 56k beware)

[Mr.Toast]

Hi guys first time poster, long time lurker. I just got into the whole detailing thing not too long ago after I buying my first car (I guess my love for automobiles quadrubled when I got a car of my own). Well my dad was parking into a public parking lot and I guess he wasn`t paying attention and scuffed the side bumper of our family`s Infiniti FX-35. They pay me to wash their cars on a weekly basis but I can`t stand giving the car a good wash and having the finish product ruined by the scuffs left from the accident. Do you guys think there is a way of removing or minimizing the damage, perhaps with touchup paint or something, here are pics of it (click to enlarge):

Holy Huge pictures batman! Can you resize those? I can`t even see the whole pic on my screen. I bet the dial up people are cursing you right now.

[Mr.Toast]

sorry about that, didn`t think they were that big, went back and put thumbnails instead

That needs a professional repaint.. it`s beyond salvaging.

[jdhutchin]

If it`s on the bumper, it`s probably also a gouge in the plastic- for something that big, touch-up isn`t going to look good.

Ditto; needs a repair/respray

Tell them to get it fixed!!!

Sorry man, I know its not what you wanted to here.

good luck though!

[Mr.Toast]

No problems, yea I kinda doubted that it could be fixed without having it repainted/replaced. It`s a shame though since I can`t get them to repair it since they`re lazy about those sort of things. I guess Ill just have to tell them that I won`t detail their car anymore until they get that fixed. Thanks anyway
