My paintless dent guy got all the dings out perfectly a couple weeks ago.

I park my E60 on the street in a very parking impacted beach community and in nearly 3 years (knock on wood) a MINOR little nick in the rear bumper (easily fixed with a dot of touch up paint) and one very minor ding pulled out by my door ding guy.

The company I used was referred/subcontracted by Ken, owner of Detail USA. Ken & his crew also did a great job detailing my vehicle afterwards. His company has over eighty Yelp 5-star ratings, which is an incredible accomplishment if you are familiar with Yelp.

Hi Spyerx,

I still need to have the bumper guys return to do some polishing/finishing work, since I noticed a small area which was a bit faded/not matched completely. They'll be back later this week & I'll update my post. Please wait for my update before you call them so I can give you my opinion of their finished work. I want to make sure I am 100% satisfied before I give the bumper repair guys my seal of approval. I am extremely picky about the people I use & recommend.

I am in the northwest and use Metropolitan Detail but check out Premier in southern california for tint and windshield protection products. I believe they have locations in NoCal and Socal (714) area code.

Well, it took them 4 tries, but they got it finished yesterday & it looks pretty darn good. They had to come back a 2nd time to color sand & polish the area, but it was not perfect so I had them come back to re-shoot it again. They had to wait for 2 days for the paint to cure & then color sand & finished it yesterday. See pics of finished repair.
