Default Before and after accident pictures

A week ago someone scratched the side of my car in a parking lot with there black car's bumper, I thought it would need painted so I thought why not give it a try myself. The body shop said they would try and wet sand it before they had to paint it. So here are the results, before and after pics: I did the whole car since I was doing the drivers side. I used Menzerna intensive polish first with the orange pad and Menzerna final polish with a white pad and lots of micro fiber's from phil. I finished with wolfgang sealant by hand. It is cloudy and overcast out so not many outside shots Thanks for looking. Sorry the writeup is so long.




And now the after:
