I take it you mean the paint has hair line cracked right through to the base? I had this happen on the Jazz and very carefully tried to paint over it with touch up, then wet sand and refine. It didn't work too well.... Basically, we (detailers) can't replace paint that isn't there by means of buffing and polishing. Oh and before you let your insurance company go ahead with the repairs, make sure you do your research and use a reputable panel shop!! (eg K&J). I had a repair done recently and the bastards fucked it (was from an RACQ recommended repairer too I'll add). There is a distinct white residue mark on the tailgate which isn't coming off. FWIW the only reason I didn't use K&J is because he's too far away from me....

Received my latest bill from QLD Urban Utilities and was stung several hundred dollars above the last one for water usage....and it won't be any cheaper going forward either. This, plus equipment/consumables upkeep and tax declaration means I'm barely breaking even. I also don't have the time anymore. Thank you everyone for your support.
