The nail catch test is not always good as I took and wet sanded a whole side and it all came out. Better to try first. just tonight I thought I had one but it came off with Meguire's cleaner wax in the purple bottle it is pretty good. G/L

Just had the left rear quarter panel on my 2016 repaired. ~24inch key scratch thru the clear coat. The car is LBR so it has the three part paint which costs a little more. My cost was $800 which included taking the quarter panel off, repairing the scratch and respraying the entire panel. Turned out great - cannot tell it ever happened. It taken in on Monday AM and I picked up the car on Wednesday PM and drove 8 hours to Carlisle.

Sucks about the damage to your car and hope the parents of the kid come through for you. I would bet they have a serious discussion with their kid too.

So I am in new home sales and parked at my model home. Little kid tries to squeeze by on his bike, 1ft gap between my car and the curb, and puts a 10-11inch scratch in my new grand sport. Down to through the clear coat and im guessing through the paint at parts.
Anybody in Houston know where I should go for repair? I was told Maik haik off Kirkwood was good. Anybody know how much this would cost to be fixed?

That sucks.
Good thing it's whit though, I had a deep scratch on my driver's door, a buddy scratched it out while backing out an F150 but it did get it repaired to the point where you can't even see it without having to repaint the whole door, just a blend.
It can be done but find a GOOD bodyshop.
Good luck.

Would y'all recommend just a body shop or should I take it to the dealer? I am also getting warranty work done as I have some pin head sized rust spots on my paint in different areas that I'm asking the dealer to remove.

Where are you getting rust spots on an SMC panel and aluminum car?
I would always go to a high-end body shop over a dealer's body shop any day.

Body shop...all the dealer will do is farm it out to whomever they use.
