I have a white 96 Acura Integra. Recently, it's been getting it's fair share of scratches. Especially from a stupid blonde white college chick(like the movie) who was key swinging happy around my trunk area. Anyway, before I bought the car it had it's fair share of dings and scratches. I'd say it has around 12 tiny scratches(I'm very anal about these) and around 7 dings. I'm not sure, so I'll get pics later. From the numbers above, I was wondering if any of you knew what would be the estimated cost for a touch up like this. I know I need to go to a shop to determind this, but I wanna hear from you guys first. Thanks...

I'm in a similar situation... a couple of small dings, a dozen or more significant scratches with four of them through the clear coat - about $700 estimate by a decent local shop. The PDR on the dings is $75 each and an all-around buff-out (for the light scratches) is $100. If you want it cleaned up, I'd first ask a body or detail shop to buff out what can be buffed out. After that, you can assess the more expensive damage. Just some thoughts from a rookie.
