A rather heavy board that I had stood up in the corner of the garage did the inevitable. It fell on Scarlett. Put a shallow but noticeable dent and scratch on the top of the right quarter. I went to a bodyshop that does excellent work, primarily to set up an appointment. The owner suggested PDR. I agreed because I would have to wait about a month for conventional body work and could later go that route if I didn't like the results.
Dropped off the car yesterday morning, got a call around noon that I could pick it up. If I didn't see it with my own eyes I would not have believed it. "Picking", a little wet sanding and some polish = good as new. The total cost was $125 which would about cover the paint in conventional repair.

Thanks, "great minds think alike" A 2X6 X6' bounced twice against my RF fender. It left 4 impressions, 2 per bounce. I'm told that my comprehension will cover it. I wonder why the callin comprehensive when it covers things like this.

Word to the wise: "What has fallen, cannot fall again." Things that can fall and cause damage in the area of a costly car need to lay flat where they cannot fall. What's that old 2 x 6 worth? >:(
Now excuse me while I move my car out of the garage and take down that rarely used metal lacrosse goal hanging above it! :o
And yes, this PDR is pretty amazing. I watched them do some work on a daily driver. Amazing.

I agree that PDR is a lifesaver.
Had a garbage bin (large wheely type) hit into the back of the Cayenne. Quote from a body shop for conventional repair was $1800!!! Went to another place that was recommended for PDR. Cost was $250 and the result was brilliant. Cannot pick the repair !!!
Glad to hear that scarlett has her honour left intact ;D
