Aluminum PDR

Hey guys, Happy Sunday

So this week we got hit with one of those freak hail storms we get around here.

All day they were saying my area was out of the severe risk zone.

Sitting eating dinner and we get an alert to "Seek shelter, Get indoors immediately. Severe potentially lethal hail inbound to your location."

Welp, I couldn't get the XK adequately covered in time and it got dinged.

I'm really upset about it because the car didn't even have 1 scratch or rock chip. Paint is pretty much the way it left the dealer 12 years ago.

It didn't get hammered as bad as my other cars in the past but even one ding is too much.

XK's are Aluminum and I know they can be PDR'd but it's not exactly the same as regular steel bodied cars. Like they need to have Aluminum dedicated tools so not to transfer steel onto the panels and stuff like that.

Anyone know any specific questions to ask that would help me to know if the PDR guys I'll be interviewing actually know how to work Aluminum or are just telling me "yeah no sweat I can do that" but they actually have no clue.
