I just noticed these scratches on my brand-new RAV4 PHEV. I think this is my own fault for trying to stretch the charging cable too much and its extension “ball” rubbing against the back side (near the fuel cap and below the taillight).

Should I just repair it at the body shop or try DIY to buff it out?

The photos are after spraying copious amounts of water (no soap).

Anyone have any thoughts about this? Bought the car in August. Noticed today

First picture is the rear and appears the worst with a noticeable hole. The other 3 are on the front. I didn’t hit a curb or anything. I’m kinda blown away and don’t know if it’s worth having the dealer check it out.

I can maybe understand the front, but I have no idea how the back gets that.

Hey how this will be fixed? Tried applying Carrera Rust Remover and WD40 but no success. Car is Honda City GM

I currently own an Acura Integra 1996 LS with a gsr shell and I’ve been tryna find away to fix her due to an accident I got into due to a lady not looking when pulling out of a drive way. Because of this the rear quarter panel is pretty fucked up and my drivers side door and lower area where the pinch welds are are dented inward. I don’t want to give this car up and loved driving her but I’m thinking of retiring her for the winter and try and fix her up before summer hits again if it’s possible to fix her up. I was told that I shouldn’t use Bondo and that I should try and bash the dents out which I did try but it didn’t get very far. Any suggestions I’d appreciate it and I would take it to a body shop but they’ll prolly quote me hella money if they are even willing to do the work which so far I haven’t found a single shop that will do it.
