Default yet another scatch

Why do people do their best to scratch my car... it must be a magnet.

Looks like someone decided to rest their bag on my bonnet and then slide it off. If only i knew who :(

ugggh.

people have done that to my car at uni. books, bags whatever. they slide off my slippery polished car, and scratch it with whatever dirt is beween the book/bag and the paint :( i also had ALL the dents removed when i got the car, now there is 4 or 5, possibly more in the panels thanks to idiots that have no respect.

i know your pain :(

Lets not get into the cats on cars topic.... I had similar when I got my car tinted. The tint guys thought it would be a good idea to leave their toll box on my boot, and when done, slide it off. I ended up getting a free boot respray.

They look nasty mate. Might need to fill with touch up until it's higher than the paint alongside and then machine or hand polish it a little.

I will have to secure my carport more so stray cats cant get in.. here comes the chicken wire

I used some Ford Touchup Paint for now. Looks dodgie up close, but fine from a distance.

I will try a spray place to fix it when i get the rear bumper sprayed and fitted.

We had a bird at work doing it's business all over our cars. I could've parked another 20 metres from my office, but "no" I was going to outsmart the bird.

I took my super soaker to work and had it loaded up and gave the bird a spray everytime he was close enough to (read tried to spray bird). This had no effect and after a number of weeks, I still hadn't hit the thing properly! LOL!

I started parking 20 metres away! LOL!

Bird 45, GK 20 metres! LOL!
