Parking brake failed, rolled into a cement block...help
 
https://flic.kr/p/nGz4fyhttps://flic.kr/p/nGyN3PWhat should I do to fix these....I used touch up paint on the biggest ones but for these tiny swirl marks I dont want to use touch up paint. Ive use a polishing compound and it takes it away for like 30 minutes before they reappear. I know they sell colored waxes so maybe that? HELP MY BABY!

Maybe try Scratch X by Meguiars? I've seen mixed reviews. I've personally tried it and it works on some areas.

for the front bottom, i'd ignore it since its under and less noticable. or get a front lip kit and cover it up

Maybe thats worth a try then. Yea the bottom I just plastidipped to make it "evo style" and it covered up the majority on the bottom. Just the swirl marks on the side of the bumper are the issue.

First, but I don't think it matters Wat gear u leave it in.

Normally yes in second, but the car was running so I had it in neutral. I got out to talk to a friend and it just rolled forward into the block.

It didn't hit it hard so nothing cracked. It just scratched up my bumper a decent amount enough to make me sad when I walk to the car in the morning

pandarturo 06-17-2014 07:26 PM

Just park the other way ;-)

That has to suck really bad. I'd be very sad if that happened to my tC :(

I have a habit of leaving it in gear either 1st or Reverse and I do way more often when winter rolls around.

if your car is parked up hill I would leave it in first and if its downhill reverse its just extra security in case the parking brake fails D:

KKWL... My 2014 Scion did the same thing.... handbrake failed and I hit a car... day before my wedding... usually leave it in gear, but not this time.. passenger front and rear panel both damaged... Feel your pain bro

patriotfan11 08-08-2014 03:14 AM

I cant even get it repainted cuz its a huge scrape out of the side and theres no covering that up...
