Got rear ended Friday afternoon in my work car by a small suv. Bad part was it pushed me into on coming traffic were I hit a e350 van that spun me around so a 1 ton dodge duellie pulling a 28 foot pontoon could rear end me again. Everyone walked away unhurt. I know what a soccer ball fells like.

Glad your o.k! Little more involved than buffing. You'll need a little duct tape as well and all should be good!!!!!

I think boat racing saved me. I braced for impact twice. I don't remember hitting the van. I just saw the dodge coming thinking this is going to be bad. I dropped down in the seat and pushed back like the big hit was next, no seat belt either. Just bragging that I walked way.

09-11-2011 09:04 AMDamn Mark, you are lucky there are no injuries from that......
Couple of things;
1. You're gonna need the Gorilla Duct Tape. The regular stuff just won't hold up in this type of a case....
http://gorillatough.com/tapes.aspx?g...FQGFQAod2X_8wg
"Just like Gorilla Glue, Gorilla Tape is a breakthrough – that’s why Popular Science put it on their “Best of What’s New, 2006” list. Here’s what they said: “Oh what MacGyver could have done with Gorilla Tape in place of his beloved gray stuff."
2. Only the best rubbing compound. It has to be aggressive. A couple of those "scratches" are pretty deep.....

"Mothers Professional Heavy Duty Rubbing Compound is the heavy hitter of Mothers Professional Refinishing System. It is capable of removing paint blemishes, like runs, sags, and orange peel, as well as environmental damage, like acid rain spots, pitting, and severe swirls."
3. There are a couple spots there you may need to use this before the compound...

Ding King Dent Remover
"The Original Ding King Dent Repair Kit As Seen On TV. The Ding King Twist will remove dents in doors, fenders, hoods and trunk lids quickly and easily without harming the original paint surface. Ding King will safely remove small and medium sized dings and dents on Cars, Boats, RV's Motorcycles and more! Dents and Dings are a thing of the Past! Ding King Pops a dent out like a Magic."
Should be good to go after that......Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

It was suggested to cut it in half, and put a couple of caster wheels on the back. The air bags didn't go off so its still safe.
