Zoom44, I'm not questioning your authority, but I'm wondering why the OP shouldn't have posted on here until after it was all settled... was it just because he should have taken care of it right away? If so, I agree.

yeah he should have taken care of it right away and then posted about it. the longer he took to confront them the easier it would have been for them to say it was someone else. how he saw it happen and didnt say something right then i cant fathom

first off this is why i dont spend any time detailing my car.
2nd your post should have been - " so the neighbor kid hit my car and this is what happened when they finally fessed up and this is how much they are paying"
you should never have been posting before talking with them.
3rd the kid didn't learn anything expect dad will cover his ***. Dad should have made the kid look at what he had done talk to you personally and arranged to pay you-even if it was with money borrowed from dad he should have been the one to make sure you got paid.
you should offer the kid to come over and watch you buff the stuff out so he ACTUALLY learns SOMETHING from this.

I went out after and inspected it but he was not around and it was late so I let it be til the next day which I then did go to his house but only his daughter was home.
I would be more than happy to teach the kid how to detail hes only a year or two younger than me anyway (I'm 18).
NO. Abrasive car polishes + people who don't know how to use them = bad idea.
I think it worked out well considering the guy was respectful about it and did not try to deny anything.

It's nice you only made him pay $100. I know I wouldn't have done the same. His son hit my car, so he's paying for it to be fixing. Regardless of what my future plans are. Even if you wanted to be a nice guy, I would have gotten the repair estimate in wiriting, then discussed how much payment would be. Now watch your friend charge you $600 to fix it. Too late. You settled on 100 bucks....
