Car Keyed....
 

Well, i won't go into the details, but i got a nice key mark about 2 feet long on the driver side rear of the car, and a nice 4 foot key mark across the spoiler. Any suggestions for touch up paint, rubbing compound, waxing, or what to do? Never been keyed, and i blame the hulligans!
Thanks

It just depends on how deep the scratch is, man. If somebody was really serious, they got it down past the color, so you're looking at a repaint to make it look right again. Scratches that long, even touched-up, are going to show. Touch-up paint, I've found, chips off easily in any application larger than a couple millimeters across.

I don't understand why somebody would key someone else's car. I've known people I can't stand, but I can't think of a situation where I'd think it was okay to vandalize someone else's property.

The only way to know for sure is to run it by a body and paint shop. That's what I'd do.

If its not deep at all try Maguires Scratch X. I had key marks on my car from when I bought it and it got off 2 of the 3 key scratches I had on it. They were about a foot long too.

Silver's relatively easier to remove scratches than the black was.

Sorry
 

Sorry to hear that. I once found a slurpee on my rear spolier, made me pissed off already, but truely sorry for your misfortune. I would try a oxidation remover for car paint, that might work if the scratch is not so deep, and have a buffer to buff it out.

I can't honestly help you with the key marks but I may be able to help you in a nice selection of weapons just in case you know who did the keying.

Did someone say Wepons?!?
 

I can "Hook you up" :D with the guys who did this for me...

I never understood the mentality of people who get their jollies from that stuff. :rolleyes: I hope you can get the scratches out without too much trouble. It would break my heart if someone did that to mine.

I once found a box o' wine on Ron's spoiler. There was little recourse except to help him drink it! :D (...tips his coffee cup to Ron );)

I am so sorry to hear that. I don't know what I would do if that happened. That is one of the worse forms of vandelism there is. One scratch can do so much damage and make the car look so bad. I have nerver understood how people can do that. :(

hey everybody. thanks for the comments and such about the keying. I really was driving rather nice to the other side of town here. Not sure when it happened, but it's not like a cut someone off then parked and had them come by or anything. No idea who did it unfortunately. Doesn't look too bad, but really puts a bit of a pisser on whenever i drive it now. Hope some scratch remover will put it away. Thanks everyone.

It would almost be worth them doing it if you could have seen them do it. Do you think self defence would hold up it court? Maybe temperary insanity.

re: beware
 

sorry about the keying man. something to add to vandalism. i was at the duncan donuts saturday night around 1am. living near emory university is a pain in the a%% due to the rich college kids with too much time on their hands. i overheard the two guys in front of me talking about going to home depot and buying some adhesive named 'liquid steel'??? apparently they plan to go and glue shut people's doors and trunks. i hope this never happens to anyone here. never used liquid steel before but i wonder how long it takes for the 'liquid' to crystalize.

if this ever happens to me, you'll see me on tv for beating down 2 punks that go to emory university.
