wet sanding...

i had pulled the "maxima" and the "GLE" emblem off months ago but had tiny scratch pits prevented any recent photoshoots...

a picture where the "MAXIMA" use to be between the license plate and left tail light...


^^^^^^
1500grit then 3000grit paper
wax, polish, and buffing material is unknown...

buddy bought some material off the cornwell truck as his shop... (service king)

my question is, how would you go about removing the hail damage with out PDR...

heard dry ice works flawlessly

I have no idea what you're talking about. You must elaborate a little.

What other route can I go with out pdr... (paintless dent repair)

Past 2 weeks, hail and tornados have been swarming around..

Had new windshield installed last week and since the maxi is now garaged, im wanting the car to look as if it rolled off the showroom floor...

If someone with Service King buffed your car, I'd be pretty worried about how it looks in the sun after the glaze evaporates. I have yet to see a car that Service King has fixed that isn't covered in buffer trails.

I never like service king either... Reason why I only trust a buddy to help out... He had just graduated TSTC down south in Waco...

pepox369, I was thinking the dry ice method but didn't want the sheet metal go into shock and warp on me..

might try the blow dryer method on the minivan later...
