I guess my biggest issue (outside of the cost) is the location. I'm close to Chicago so I was hoping to get a recommendation on a business that does this kind of work in the area. Thanks.

Yeah generally you rewrap it, but its done in sections so its not usually a bad job at all to replace one. Had a buddy with a GTR that got his keyed (had full 3m clear) and it was deep into the vinyl but the paint was untouched underneath. So definitely a good way to protect your investment.

Once the scratch is there you can not get it out, but depending on angle and color not always noticeable. Only option is to rewrap that panel.

This is my truck with scratches from a few feet away.

Since I have scratches up and down the truck I would have to rewrap the whole thing, but it really dose protect the paint (had the pillars and side view mirrors redone, paint was perfect).
