Don't sweat it, two weeks after I got the car an old couple on an escalade dented the rear quarter panel, that is now the reason why I don't park near buicks, Cadillacs or GM products, people seem to believe the doors are wings or something. A month ago a rock hit my windshield. In the end is just another car, no one will notice. Just make sure it doesn't rust.

Totally fixable!

Get the paint match from the dealer, buy a high quality paint brush with a VERY small tip. Get a steady hand and fill it.

If you really want to blend it, polish it with a orange pad and M105 or M205 and finish with a high quality finish polis and blue hex pad.

It will take you a total of 5 min to touch it...let it cure and polishing it only takes a few minutes and you won't be able to even see it!

Can you elaborate on the polish method? Do I polish after I let it dry, or is this something I do beforehand? Not sure what M105 and M205 is, nor a blue hex pad. Could really use the help, I also need to repair a rock ding in my front end.
