    oxidizing and peeling clear coat on painted and chrome mag wheels

    This pic shows a few chips and scratches, I located a chip that had a lifting edge, and used a razor blade to lift it up and brake / cut it off, than cleaned around the hole with the tip of the razor blade, and washed with thinners and warm air dried, at this point no sanding really required...

    Ways to smooth bumpy rides?

    Just guessing, but, check your current tire pressure, Check the recommended tire pressure, and begin dropping that pressure by say 2psi, and test drive, drop another 2psi and test drive again, and so on. perhaps you will find a happy medium, I would not drop 8psi overall, if not, buy the caddy...

    Had tires rotated and now steering wheel is off center ?

    Try changing them back and see what happens,??. my line of thought is your AWD is independent rear axle, and I am guessing this is not the first rotation on this car, and I am also guessing you may have perhaps over 200,000k, leading me to further guess and say that your independent rear end...

    Got backed into in a parking garage

    Get rid of the word "properly" and I agree with you. The only "proper" way to fix that is to remove the bumper cover, sand the area, and re-paint the entire bumper cover. Otherwise you're dealing with blending the paint which will be noticeable on close inspection even if the best paint guy in...
