thanks for the input guys

I had someone rear end my black is300, 03. The license plate on the other car gauged the bumper cover in two places, about 4 inches long each. I took it in for a quote at a body shop and they said it would be 430.00. This was paint, labor, with color sanding and a finish that matches the one from the factory. Do any of you have experience with something like this? It seems really high for the small amount of damage that was done. I want to get it fixed, but I don't want to put the poor lady in the poor house either.

thanks for the clarifications -gian

This is my first post but I've been using this site for information for about a year now since I purchased my IS300. I've seen woolite mentioned time and again in various posts so today I went out and bought some to give it a try. I do have a few questions. I have read that woolite is a good leather cleaner when properly diluted. Does it stain/ fade/ bleach any of the other parts in the interior if it splashes. I have read that woolite can be used as a window cleaner. What is the advantage over a normal windex/ eagle 20/20 cleaner. What happens if it gets on the paint job? Does it eat wax if spashed on the paint? I have read that it is good for cleaning wheel wells. Does it still need to be dilluted or is that at full strength? Will it damage the rims/ tires/ or paint at that concentration? What is the benifit over a normal automotive soap? Do you remove the tires to do the wells and when they are done what do you use to keep them looking nice a darK? Thanks for any input. I realize it's a lot. -Gian
