Wild weather in Melbourne = Dents on new Civic

**drunkntigr** · 03-04-2008 12:09 AM

Was driving to work this morning in the windy weather and heard a massive bang, thought it must have been just a branch that had hit my window and thought nothing of it as the window was fine.

Just before after coming back from restauraunt saw a few chips then washed away the dust storm rain drops and I see two massive dents with the paint chipped to the bottom and numerous scratches at the lower front end of the bonnet, guessing I must have his a branch as it blew sideways as the lines are in a diagonal line.

Pretty P'Od and very unlucky I guess. It's not really worht to pay $500 to get insurance to fix it but anybody got any ideas on what I can do to preserve the paint or prevent rust in this area now? I've also got the useless Crystal Glaze on too.

hmmm... I've heard of mobile dent repairers. maybe they can push out your dents for a fraction of a price of what a crash repairer might charge?
