1. Mix up 1/4 oz. of Nogaro
2. Squeegee into scratch
3. Buff off excess

We could improve this scratch 70 - 90% with this method for $40.

Wow. That looks fantastic.

How much lead time do you need for an appointment. I drive from Seattle to Salem about once a month and would be interested in getting my rear bumper fixed like the above post. Very nice work.
