anthony, im sorry that happened to you bro...but yeah like said before, it could have been worse.
There are car detail places around town, a good 1 should cost u like 120. Thats for a quality wax that should last a few months. The car would be perfect if they used good quality wax, even in rain the water should just bead right off the paint.
Saw this too late again... just came back from Cane's... 
On another note... is there a detail shop that can "work" the car over to fix and clean up the paint finish? or would i need to go to a body shop? the thing w/ a black colored car--every little scuff or the minute scratch shows up.

It's me flip702...
i smoked my corners...
i used TAMAYA PS-31 (from Hobby Land or Hobby People -- Sahara & Decatur)
did the whole can (3 oz) to cover the amber corners. i would've sanded and prepped it, but it was my first try. it looked ok w/out wetsanding it, but i decided to put a light smoke vinyl overlay (left over from me doing my headlights) to give it some protection and give it a more "clean" look.
i also just finished smoking the tails...
(don't mind the HELLO KITTY decal on the freezer...its the wifey's idea
)
...i bought another set of tails and decided to try this "experiment" took a few days to do the smoke (also used the Tamaya-- 4 cans), clear coat, then wet sand and polish...
i wouldn't say its "perfect", but it sure beats dishing out $$$ to get them done.

So i finally got my car back. Drove it out of the body shop and saw that i needed gas. So i went on my lunch to get gas. Then i get stuck in traffic. With a cop right behind me. My registration expired right when i got my crash. We was planning to go to renew it the weekend after i crashed it. So the cop pulls me over today. My license is also expired. This was just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was had no way of renewing my registration without driving the car cus i needed to get a smog check. But anyway luckily he was cool and he didnt tow it away. But i have court in june. Car looks good tho.
BTW, those HDR pictures of the Benz came out great, is that the desert next to that Silverado Ranch Park?It was great to meet you dude! When you coming out again? We need to plan a big NV & AZ meet one day! Get everyone together..
