Thumbs down Wind + Old house = Scratched car

Hey guys,

So as some may know, i have had foot surgery and cant really do much, well during this idle time i got a "new" car. Well just not to long ago a HUGE piece of wood came crashing down on my 2007 outback. Scratched the hell out of the wing, and some other parts. Do any of you guys know people that do good touch up work? I don't know if these kind of things are covered in insurance but like to know if you all know good people and or shops.

Usually is covered in insurance under comprehensive. Usually that deductible is higher, mine being $500 vs my collision at $250. Okas Auto Body is the general choice on iclub for work but they are usually booked for a little if you can wait. If those scratches arent deep sometime a good detail will get em out.

If you can feel the scratch with your fingernail chances are it won't buff out.

That's not to say it won't make it much less visible with buffing.... However, it's not going to smooth out enough to create zero distortion on the panel.
