[ormi]

you could try a good cutting compound or if some one on here has a buff and is close to you mibbi they could come and give your car a buff to take the key mark out??

come on peeps help the man out??

[eddieblock]

[PHILLP]

Ormi's right cutting or grinding compound works a treat, itll take time and worth doing it carefully.

I had my car's bonnet done so deep it gouged the metal. It was done in several places. It took a respray costing £760 to fix for which I had to pay £250 excess. Some people behave like scum.

couldn,t agree more !!!! i,d love to catch them doing it ! does anyone have a brand of cutting compound to recommend ? i,ll try that before insurance, coz that,ll mean losing my no claims !!!! plus the excess ! first time this has ever happened to me !

i despise people like! really nasty piece of work! i got a call from the place where there was cctv and if i found out who the two lads are that vandalised my car....then things are going to turn nasty!

i've worked hard myselft aswell to get to the position that i am in now and what hurts the most is that the car was vandalised 2 weeks after i had bought it! if it was a few months down the line then i would have felt less angry about it!

[eddieblock]

nah i,ve had mine 5 months now and am well ****** off ! more so now because i have spent a fair bit of money on the car ! as john travolta says in pulp fiction "it would be worth those assholes doing it, just so i could have caught them doing it "

[PHILLP]

Not to sure on the make but i paid £10 for a small tin.

Used it when i had my car 4 days and went seeing my nan in Hospital, went back to the carpark and a red car had reversed and left all his paint down the bottom half of my car and straight across my alloy, the compound got it off my paint work but not off my alloy...luckely they didnt dint the bodywork.

let us know how you get on pal!

yeh will do ! gonna have a go this weekend, bit busy in work to do it before !

This is going to sound strange. Get a tin of Duraglit brass polish - its in wadding in a tin. Work in smallish circles and clean off with a soft dry cloth after taking excess off with a tissue. The reason it is good is that you can see through it as you work so as not to cut too deep. It is also not too harsh and leaves a shine like a mirror. If you want to use something even less harsh - the silver polish from the same makers.

If the scratches have gone through the lacquer layer though, the only solution is to treat the paint with large amounts of money. Someone squeezed by my IS 200LE in a car park when it was just 3 days out of the show-room. I think their belt did the damage that £570 repaired!

[eddieblock]

3days? think i would have had a heart attack ! thanx for the advice I'll pick some up and try it !

[eddieblock]

just an update ! cutting compound didn't work so have had to book it into a bodyshop for repair. £250 not as bad as it could have been i suppose !

[eddieblock]

just had the lexus repaired. changed place to have it done after recommendation. was £300. looks like new tho but money shouldn,t of had to spend !

i know how you feel, my car got keyed all over, bonnet, both wings, every door pannel etc... cost me £500 to get it repaired and now my car is like brand new! :)

[eddieblock]

every cloud has a silver lining i suppose !

ASsholes is a reason to only push the lock button once on your key fob :)

ive always been paranoid about going to the supermarket that ive decided to park away from the congested spaces. The reason behind that is so that i know idiots who open the car door without thinking dont dent my car and again less chance of people belts or other hanging metal bits dont damage the paint work. One day all houses should have HD CCTV camera installed so that people can be caught in the act and quite possible be dis couraged on doing needless vandalism

Glad you got it sorted, get some pics up of your shiney new car!

if i nip to the super market i tend to use my mums car....ha ha micra beast, ive seen to many careless people on them carparks.
