OUCH! Dent on my fender and what's this stain???

That ain't no paint problem. I had 2 dents taken out of my 370Z using both suction cups and rods. The suction cups never left any kind of residual mark whatsoever. That is this guy's suction cup problem.

Get some surface cleaner / preparation spray at the auto store that is used to remove all contaminants off a surface prior to painting it. Spray it on and wait about 30 seconds and those rings will come right off without a problem. Then call the dent guy and inform him about the prep spray and advise him to clean the suction cup with it as well.

looks like the rubber oil residue from the suction cup has embedded itself in the clear bra. Was it hot out when he did the work? Try some Goo Gone from office depot, if that doesn't work you will probably have to replace that section of the clear bra. Goo Gone 8 Oz by Office Depot

$60 but he gave me $30 back and offered to give me a full refund and pay for any damages and repair bills, even gas $. being that he spent two hours total on it i felt bad taking it all back so i only took half. I mean the dent came out flawlessly.
