I go outside to go to work and I see that someone was kind enough to think that my car needed scratches all around it. It wasn't just a single scratch down the side it was at least two, on both sides and the hatch and the hood. I don't know anyone around here except my friend down the street. Some people just don't realize that you don't mess with another man's car! Oh, and my car is black.

Anyway, I am too upset to think right now and I need advice on the best product for scratch removal if anyone has ever been in this situation themself. I will eventually get it repainted but not until I have a garage. Thanks.

Same thing happened to me about 2 months ago, every single panel was keyed all the way to the metal and fiberglass, I had to have my two front fenders completely replaced and my entire car repainted, mine was keyed with a screw driver. Just pay your comprehensive deductable and get a whole new paint job, sit back and love it when its finished, cause it will look like brand new again, dont even stress bout it, i didnt....

Welcome to the club. Sad to hear this. The same thing happened to me at school. A nice, long, deep scratch on the side of my car. Luckily most of it came out but I was still ready to kill someone. This was right after I had my entire car buffed to near perfection, then some as*hole has to f*ck it up. I have a passionate hate for disrespectful people like this. It's all a jeoulousy thing. Messing with a man's car is like messing with him, bad things happen.

I really would cripple someone if I caught them doing this. That permanent limp would remind them to never mess with someone's car again. Nothing gets me more pissed off

Some scumbag did the same thing to me. It really ticks you off when you come out and the first thing that catches your eye is a big key mark going down the side of your car.
******** !

You know whats worse? Coming out to your car and finding the rear fender caved in behind the driver's door.

People actually do suck..

If its bad enough you might want to file an insurance claim.. paint the car electron blue..

Mine got keyed too. The same guy keyed I think 14 other cars in the same day at school. All I can say is he got the beating of a lifetime, and his car is no more

Update. I looked at the car today in the sunlight and it looks like most of the scratches were in the clear coat. I am not usually one to look for a quick fix in a bottle, but I tried Mequiar's ScratchX and it actually took most of the scratches out. I'm sure with another application and then some cleaner and polish it will be like new.

I appreciate everyone's sympathy. Not everyone understands how we feel about our cars.

If someone keyd my car i seriously think i would beat them in the face with a fuggin tire iron.

You can try some swirl mark remover from Meguiars, and 3M has some too, Orielly's should have it. The Meguiars is in a tan bottle, as its a professional line. You might be able to use a light cut on i too, but if scatchx took most of it, the swirl remover should work, just rub and rub....

I don't wanna hijack the thread....but I'm on the same boat
Someone keyed "*******" words all over my SS...








I will definitely claim it on my insurance, and I will try to paint it electron blue metallic, if possible....

That is HORRIBLE!!! That just makes me so ******* pissed!!!

BTW: My car still has the key marks, but it happened last March, will it be possible to get insurance to pay for it if I wanted to fix it now? Thanks

Well... I depends. First of all, just because your car is insured both ways, doesn't mean they will cover it. Second of all, you need a police report stating that your car was vadalised (sp.) Mine happened last Tuesday, on the School parking lot. It wasn't 'till Saturday morning when I noticed it in my garage(I drive this car on weekends only, and it was dark on tuesday, so I didn't notice that right away) So, I drove back to DePaul, and called security. They issued a report, and I also filled a report with Chicago Police Department. University security told me that they have security cameras, but they would only look for the tape, if it was a physical assult. (rape, murder, etc.) I plan on calling Insurance on Monday, but I am already scared that they will say "well...you didn't call us on the the day it happened...."

I'll keep you posted....

School parking lots in Chicago seem to be a bad place for F-bodies and a good place for jerks.

Well, DePaul area is located in Lincoln Park, and that is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in chciago. No house costs less than $500,000 ....
It could have happened anywhere...

Chameleon kidd

that sux. i hate when they tag your car thinking its some one elses.

man i guess i got lucky and no one has tagged mine yet.. couple of my friends got hit but they were being jackasses and taking up 2-4 spots. that tends to get your car hit quicker than any thing else.

why cant people keep there damn keys to them selves?

Mike 01WS6

I've had that happen a zillion times.....having a brand new pewter WS6 vert in highschool really had a lot of people jealous of me. Now that i'm in college there are a lot of people with nice cars so it isn't the center of everyone's attention anymore. One time i did catch the person doing it IN THE ACT! Came up behind him real fast and knocked his ****** *** out! I hate people that do that. They are a discrace to society and shouldn't be allowed to own cars!

Rant off.

Hope all goes well for you.
