How We Fixed Hail Damage on a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class in Edgerton, Kansas

This Obsidian Black C-Class took a storm in Edgerton, a small town on the metro's southwest edge near the logistics park. Black paint shows everything, and the owner found the hood and roof covered after a spring cell. Hail damage repair that protected the deep Obsidian Black finish was non-negotiable on a German luxury sedan.

On a German luxury car in Obsidian Black, paintless dent repair is the only choice that protects the car's value. Obsidian Black is one of the hardest finishes to match, and a body-shop respray would have shown in the sun and followed the C-Class to trade-in. Keeping it paintless meant all 44 dents came out with the factory finish perfectly intact and nothing on the vehicle history. We made the run to Edgerton near the logistics park, coordinated the repair once the claim was approved, and the owner paid only the deductible. The sedan came back flawless under the lights, its value and its spotless record both fully preserved.
