So here it goes… I live in a gated apartment complex. The gate style is 2 slow metal swinging gates and a quicker plastic one that goes up and down to let just one car through at a time. Well up till about a week ago the plastic gate would go up first, then you would just have to wait for the metal gates to open far enough so you could get through. But now they have it that the darn plastic one doesn't go up till the metal ones are open. So yesterday I pulled up and while waiting for the gates to open I leaned over to fix the passenger side seat belt (you know how makes all that noise if you don't put it between the seats). Looked back up, saw the metal gates were open, and I started forward… oops! Plastic gate wasn't up yet!

The X was left with quite a bit of white scuffs that took me all of 5 minutes to remove with a wet paper towel, but after removing them I found that it left a nice foot long or so impression in the fender. Blah, first battle scar! Anyone have experience with dent wizard?
