Add my sorry ass. I hit a fricken curb yesterday taking a shortcut recommended by the Navi, hit a curb flying around a corner and scraped both passenger side wheels.
I feel like I sit a lot lower in this car than I did with my CL, with the seat as high as I can get it in the TL. I think it's throwing my car width estimation off.
Anyways...anybody know if body shops/rim shops can buff out stratches and gashes?

Heres the story.I went to Kroger last night with my wife to get some milk for my newborn baby girl.Right when we are about to leave,the freakin store losses power and no one could check out.We realy needed to get some milk for the baby so we waited for power to come back up.After about 10 min,my wife get impatient and wants to leave.I wanted to wait but she just walks out leaving me there.So im like, ok fine and left too.(Big mistake).Me being tired and frustrated with my wife go to walmart.On the way there I had to make a u turn.Then BAM, scraped the rear left rim trying to hurry.
On the way back home we see Kroger back open with power.

lol i keep doing this to my right front tire (stock 17's) when i park too close to the curb to avoid dings on the other side of the car from other cars, I bought some touch up paint at Walmart (just basic car paint touch up product, not meant for the car make/model nor a rim just a lucky guess when I saw the color) and luckily it matched almost perfect, the scratches are still there but atleast its the same color almost as the rest of the rim, I may try to find a place that fixes them after the winter.

it just makes me so mad, I just got one wheel fixed, and now another is scuffed
LESSON LEARNED: do NOT valet your car!! about 2 months ago I had a valet lock the keys in my old car with it running! I just have no luck with those valet guys... I'll park myself from now on!

I got some curb damage to a rim last week. Thanks to this forum I found a guy in Cincinnati at www.mobilewheelrepair.com who fixed it for $75 in 45 minutes. I can't wash it for 2 weeks so I wish I had washed it before I took it to him. Also, he told me to be gentle washing that rim for a few months.
