It appears someone may have keyed my car

[Coco H]

Whilst I was in the supermarket. My car isn't pristine but I would like to get it fixed. It's not a huge area - would one of those scratch people be able to polish it out - I don't think it's that deep.

A picture would help here...

Fingernail test.

Run your nail over it, if it catches it's time for paint if not it's time for polish.

[RobCrezz]

Yes/No.

[soad]

Not the E Type, surely? sts

[Coco H]

No the impreza. Failed the fingernail test. Just what I needed. I have had a crap day and now this. Hang them!

Rather than start another thread...

Had my car cleaned at lunchtime as a pidgeon (or fking albatros ) had taken a post curry number 2 on all over the bonnet a couple of days ago... around 2 patches of said st there are now numerous scratches as it had hardened like concrete... this has left some very obvious and visible marks on the bonnet... any advise on the best thing to use to repair the damage - they aren't through the paint but are winding me right up!!

I also have some splashes of what looks like tar/melted rubber up the passenger side door - any advice on removing these?

Cheers and apologies to the op for going OT

Tar or bug wipes should do the latter.

Clay bar, polish and wax for the former i would have thought. T-Cut if really bad.

One can just about understand dings as that is the result of carelessness, but keying is the epitome of cruntishness.
