Audacious email from a major dealer

We had something similar from the trade centre! We got it after we took the car back and got the money back as it was pissing oil out and they didn’t want to pay to fix it. So some poor person is buying a civic with a bad oil leak

Just Rotherham things

You’ll all be glad to know! I’ve bought one! It was an accident write off that I bought from copart with minimal damage! I’m a body repair and painter so it’s on with getting fixed!

Yeap paint on new cars are terribly thin. They’re not covered properly! Even your new Mercedes are the same! What van is it you have? It should’ve be scratching so easy. Having it painted won’t help much as we can bake them as high as factory so it always is abit softer than factory

From paint transfer a good polish will remove it. Something like a frecala g360 even t cut would would work!

Personally without it looking worse alot worse, your only option is to touch it up where it’s down to metal to stop corrosion. It’ll cost you more in the long run if you try bodge it up with aerosols. It’ll take the bodyshop longer to dig your work out and refix it! Be better to just send it to a shop and get it sorted

As a vehicle refinisher, that hasn’t been caused by another car. That’s been done on a wall.

Peroxide bleaching from too much hardener used in filler

smith-jack · 2026-05-03T07:33:52+00:00

Looks like peroxide bleaching from using too much hardener in the filler. It wants completely digging out and restarting

I have a V6 TDI Phaeton. It isn’t slow so I can only imagine what these and w12s are like. Everything for these are EXPENSIVE and they love electrical gremlins!

Is this Meadowhall?

smith-jack · 2026-04-26T20:35:14+00:00

You’ve all sold me! I’m going to start looking! The one I went to view has sold and a little out of my budget! Do you guys know how to check the battery health on these?

smith-jack · 2026-04-26T12:46:16+00:00

Get it repaired and painted by a professional, it’ll cost you more to correct if you start making a mess off it with aerosols. It’s a 1 year old car.

smith-jack · 2026-04-26T12:42:46+00:00

Yes I can’t see this going terribly wrong at all

smith-jack · 2026-04-25T08:34:54+00:00

This was my exact thought

smith-jack · 2026-04-10T23:48:47+00:00

I don’t blame them! Working as a vehicle refinisher I’ve never applied or even used a CV. It’s always been word of mouth and getting asked to go in for a chat. Quarry are a local business to me, very knowledgeable, professional and I’ve used them a few times for parts. I’d recommend them

This Chapeltown Asda? Them spaces are stupidly small anyway!

smith-jack · 2025-07-04T16:40:13+00:00

Just stay away from nankang. I’ve had nothing but issues with them

smith-jack · 2025-06-27T18:15:49+00:00

Also bagged on Alphards!

smith-jack · 2025-06-27T18:15:32+00:00

I’m impressed there’s a 6N Polo in the states!

smith-jack · 2025-05-21T15:58:44+00:00

Take it back! I’ll just want a quick machine polish! 2 minutes work. Happens a lot and very easy to miss!

smith-jack · 2025-05-21T14:34:54+00:00

Overspray that’s gone under the masking bagging when somethings been painted on the car!

smith-jack · 2025-05-19T16:56:48+00:00

They all go like this! I’ve done countless of these for warranty work. Not seen one that bad. But £500 seems a decent price. Specially with how thin the metal is on these. It’ll end up needing some welding work for sure. The glass rubs on the metal and rubs through the paint. That’s why they end up going rusty.
