That's still crap. Better than nothing, but that's about it. They should tell you where to drop the truck off (detail shop) or ask you where/which shop do you prefer. The defendant/party should pay services directly, - it was their fault.

Yea, sounds like they want YOU to foot the bill first , then fight for reimbursement later.

Looks like you could fight and eventually win, - it's up to you. If YOU can remove it without damaging the clear-coat, that wouldn't be so bad. I would at-least stop by a detailer and get a quote, -so you have a good idea what they charge.

 

Yeah they want me to foot the bill up front, if it works and comes back perfect I won't mind much. If it comes back less than perfect they can pay more.

 

ya man, id hold them to the entire bill even if it does cost more. i have a family friend who is a lawyer and when stuff needs to be taken care he plays the "im a lawyer and will kick your as$ if you dont do it right" card

 

At least you're making progress. I agree though, if $125 doesn't get it to "pre-road paint" condition, they need to cough up some more cash to make it right.

If you go through your Insurance company, you would would be liable for your Comp Ded. what ever that may be. Until all payments and repairs have been made they would not be able to do much for you. Once everything is done then they could try to get your ded. back for you but may take awhile to get that, if at all.

 

Sounds like your slowly making progress, just dont give up.

 

Got an update for yall, My dad took the truck to a detailer this morning when I was at work before he drove it to Hartwell for the weekend. $215 later, paint is black again, but the tire is still yellow for the most part and parts of the inside wheel well is still yellow. Wasn't too happy with it not being 100% spotless after a detail but it is much better. Now I need to call the subcontractor and see if they will cover the full price of the detail.

I never got a chance to get a picture (Dad ran the truck over to where I was getting a hair cut before he left) but I'm going to have my brother send me a picture when he gets a chance so yall can see it.

More good news: My 09 emblems came in today! Downside is I don't have the truck here to put them on...

 

Just get you some good ole paint in a can and spray your fenderwells, you will never know its there.

 

Make those buggers pay the whole $215!

Glad to hear it seems to be working out for ya.

Road paint is water based , so that turtle wax bug and tar remover should work. A bug and tar remover of some kind.

Gas on a rag would clean the tires. It evaporates quick enough so it won't damage the tire.

 

you could have wrapped it and pulled it off when it gets damaged

 

I think that would have just covered my problem, not fixed it. For much more than $215.

And kinda strange music choice to the video.

 

damn, it did look pretty cool. would u have left it if it was on both sides?

and yea i say they pay for the whole detail. it was absolutely their fault, not $125 worth of their fault

 

Man wraps like that are about 10x the cost of a detail. Cool concept tho

 

No I would not leave it on both sides lol. I like my black truck.
