I got 2 tiny rock dings in the front of the hood and 2 small scratches on the side of the rear bumper.. I have some paint bubbling on the fender lip above the rear tires.. passenger side is pretty bad actually. 05' with 53,000 miles. I hope it rotts to **** within the next year and a half so Mitsubishi can repair it under the 7 year sheetmetal warranty!

Mine has about 20 dings around the whole car. On top of that, someone just hit my back bumper while I was at the mall and ran off.

Griots paint sealer

so i got this today and tried it out lil bit (cus its 5degree here in Mi)...so far it works pretty well on light scratches, scuff and swirl mark... all the scratches pretty much disapear. next time i will try to buff with the machine using this product to see if it could remove deeper scratches ( scratches that u can here lil clicking noise when u use the tip of ur nail to feel it).

I'm glad the product is working out for you, but please don't buff anything quite yet. Which buffer do you have? Which pads do you have access to? How much buffing experience have you had?

The only thing I can suggest is that you not allow anyone to touch your paint, unless he's an Autopian detailer. For all I know your friend could be great, or he could fruck up your paint worse than it ever was. As for product, you'll need a few ounces of polish at the most. Your friend should be able to score some samples from work. Again, working in a body shop, his level of expertise could point you toward an acceptable product, or not. I'll include a link just in case you want to take a little time to familiarize yourself with what's involved.

To give an example, jugging by your car's description it would take someone like me about 10 hours to polish your paint to a better-than-new state via a 2-step or a 3-step process, depending. Something called polishing/buffing can take an hour or two in a body shop. It all depends on the level of finish you're after. Good luck.

^^^ Lots of great polishing tutorials there, links to videos, product recommendations...everything you'd need.
