skymera Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi all, Wasn't sure if I posted this. But a few weeks ago some scrote (or scrotes) scratched up about 15 cars in the street with what seemed like a brick! But it went from this To this!

Krzys Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 What did you use on it mate? Must have been quite light (not gone all the way through the paint)? Or was it sprayed? Least you got it sorted either way, sh1t that it happened though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skymera Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Some were quite deep but never went through the paint.The rear door took the brunt of it with the very top of the scratch being the deepest. The paint of these is thicker than that of warships I'm sure. Wet and dry was used and T Cut. Total of 5-6 hours with 2 people. I never expected them to come out so well! This isn't the first bit of vandalism for the street. Unfortunately the street is a cut through so there's a lot of traffic in terms of people and cars. Therefore you get the twonks late at night.Having mirrors kicked off isn't unusual. I had my wing mirror kicked off from my Micra and even had people run over the bonnet, up the windscreen and jump off the roff. Tell tale muddy footprints eh.

skymera Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Car washed with Meguiars ultimate wash and wax and waxed after with Simoniz instant wax. Pretty good for just £6!Total time washing, drying and waxing: 40 mins Not a blinding clean. I hate cleaning the car. The waxing did highlight the numerous paint imperfections. Several small dings, paint peel on the rear bumper, some arch rust and a fair few scratches!Overall paintwork is pretty dull. Or maybe because it's silver? Imo, it needs a good polish to iron out most of them then a decent waxing! I also did pick this up plus a new filter. I've been running Fuchs Titan 5w-40 fully synthetic for the past 6+ months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
