Yesterday I took my 05 NBP TL out of the garage and was shocked to find a long cream colored scrape 8''X2" above the passenger side rear wheel well. My first impression was someone had hit my car the previous night in a parking lot but the paint streak was the same color as my house trim. It looked like, at least, a $500 repair at a body shop. The paint appeared damaged but there were no dents or other body damage. Sorry no pics.

I have a fairly large garage but my wife sometimes parks towards the middle leaving me only a few inches of clearance from the side of the garage and I had apparently scraped the car against the garage entrance the night before.

Before calling and making a body shop appointment I took some fine polishing compound and gently began to remove the house paint from the TL and after about an hour all the paint was removed and except for a considerable number of superficial scratches, the clearcoat was intact.

I took a high intensity light so I could see all the damage and carefully used Scratch-X to remove the superfical scratching on the surface followed by waxing.
Now, it's impossible to see any damage to the car. Total time spent for the repair 3 hours.

The reason that I was able do this repair was, in part, due to the knowledge I gained from this site and reading the info on detailing.(and I was lucky as shit) I firmly belive that this forum is an essential part of owning and maintaining an Acura.

If it was an interior wall you can always put foam or cheap door mats up. Good work!!

That's why you need fenderwell trims.
These are Universal 3M's which were custom cut and formed.
