Sup people, so i get off work within 4 hrs after my lunch break and do the usual check up before i get in my XB and noticed a long ___ scratch across the drivers side door...so im stunned and ____ed off of how that ____ happened and wonder who's hating at work, this sucks and what's the first step in trying to cover it up or fix the damn scratch? i just bought it May 15 and this has to happen??? i hope i can put my golf club underneath the mat of my trunk to use....i've read that scratch x works? if so how effective is it?? later

 

sorry to hear that getting keyed/vandalized is my #1 fear about my xb and i am paranoid about it every time i park. hearing about these stories makes me so angry that if i ever catch someone keying ANYONE'S car, i will beat the living ____ out of them. i really hope you find out who did it.

to cover the scratch, i've read on here that you should get touch-up paint as well as a glob remover kit from your toyota dealer. i hope that helps.

 

im scared also.....try buffin it first if the scratch is not deep.......

 

This is what I would do:

1. Try the Maguiars Scratch-X Its less than 10 bucks, and buff the hell out of it.

If one didnt work i would go with number two:

2. Go to a paint shop and ask if I could colorsand and clear the door to get rid of the mark(s). This will be a bit pricey but I WOULD DO THIS SINCE IM A PERFECTIONIST!

and dont forget:
3. Get a sentry gun to peotect your car!


Seriously I'm sorry to hear what happened! good luck!

 

here's some pics of the damage done

sorry to hear that happened...looks like the scratch is not that deep...
hope u can buff it out

 

it looks deep as hell to me. scion paint isn't very thick in the first place. i like the other guy am a perfectionist and would just get it painted b/c it would never satisfy me.

 

Mean people suck. Did you report it to the building manager? I wonder if any other cars have been keyed besides yours...

 

yeah i dont think wax and buffing will satisfy me on this one , but about our building manager, he's an ___ , security cameras in the parking lot dont even work and cars have been keyed here in the past from other co-workers' experiences....will insurance cover this up??

 

First rule of thumb is if you can feel it with your fingernail it will not buff out. You can always make a vandalism claim with your insurance and it should be handled as a comprehensive claim and won't count against you.

 

Golf is for ___S!
