Major update. Deep scratch on Kushaq 😓😭 heartbroken!

So this happened few days ago. A vehicle rubbed through my kushaq’s left side body. There was PPF which protected a bit but few scratches are deeper and took the paint off. I tried some 3M compound rubbing which removed some scratches. But it still doesn’t look good.

Hope you are safe

All good. It’s just car rubbed through it. Aside heartbreak, all good 😅. Thanks for the concern and kindness.

Claim insurance now. Dont wait for more scratches and dents to come before claiming.

[@imperatorBKS]

Thought of that. But is it worth it for now?

[@amartyaganguly8369]

@@imperatorBKS totally worth it. God forbid, if something were to happen in the other side of the car then you won't get claim for both.

Really! Does it devalue the car if I take insurance for such scratches so early on? Car is just 4 months old.

[@amartyaganguly8369]

@@imperatorBKS it's just a cosmetic damage right? Should not impact resale value as much even if it shows up on record. If you think non-skoda guys can repair it nicely and you're confident then go ahead. But often the finishing does not match with the car paint.

@@amartyaganguly8369 that is true. And thank you for the insight. It helps. And yes, it's cosmetic damange. Not major dents. And I have PPF on the panels. So I'm not thinking of getting the full panel repainted. And if I do take insurance, I will have to get it PPF'ed again. But let's see. I might try and spray paint it by proper filling and all. Will make a video if I can get it myself. I hope it works. Since ppf should prevent from any additional spray of color and I would cover the panel anyway and I hope it matches.
