Hmmm. bodyshop. I just hope the rubbing compound works. I mean it should. I do need to buy touch up paint because silly me left the gas gap and door open after filling up one day AND get this... i also went through the car wash too!
The gas filler door has a wee dent from being stressed open and the top dent the paint cracked and flaking off. Ugh. I wont be replacing the car for at least a year but I want this fixed. Ok, will see what happens with compound.

Thanks!
