Well the honeymoon is over! I had my TSX for less than 48hrs and it got scratched in the Denny's parking lot. I don't know if it was an accident or just some hater scratching it out of jealousy, but non the less it is scratched.

Anyone know of any good polish or wax that I can use to fill the scratch? It only broke through the clear ccoat, so I may be able to fill it. Thank god it didn't go down to the metal.

Let me know!

 

Are you sure it wasn't there before you took delivery of the car? :wink:

 

Sucks to hear. But I would probably recommend Meguiar's Deep Crystal, Paint Cleaner and Polish (2 different bottles). I had a clearcoat scratch recently that I was able to clear up with the paint cleaner. Give that a try.

 

man! That sucks! Vandilizing someone's ride is the lowest of the low. People who do that deserve a million kicks to the balls.

 

Sorry to hear man!!! Good luck in filling it!

 

damaging someones ride is just low what do people see in it.

 

if its not a deep scratch..try the meguiars scratch x..works like a charm!

 

Thanks everyone for you input.

 

Sorry (double post)

The scratch was deffinately not there when I picked up the car. That scratch would have been worth a good $700+ at the dealership. It might have been an accident, but I doubt it. It is pretty deep and had to have some pretty good pressure applied to get it. I will try to buff it out. Thank goodness its on the passenger dorr so I don't have to see it every time I get in the car.

I wil try miguirs and see how it works

 

people that do that should go straight to prison

 

Sorry to hear. I'd cry if that happened even to my shity 95 accord

 

i was wondering why, at your age, you'd be so freaked out when you heard of "rattles"

 

Well I searched and read a lot about the 'rattles' and everyone seems to be annoyed by it..

 

arrgh you probly wont even notice nothin cause you're gonna be having the music up all the time

 

Damn, sorry to hear. Thats why i always park far away from other cars, damn haters!

 

If it's as deep as you say, I don't think a wax will help you.

 

If you can't see metal then there is a good chance that you can buff it out or at least lighten it. If the above advice doesn't work, try some Meguiars rubbing compound (www.meguiars.com) and that should do the trick. Hope it works. Bastards with keys......

Slats

 

Ugghh...why do you have my girl as your avatar?

 

It's deep enough to feel when I rub my fingernail over it. But, it's not down to the metal.

 

That sucks, Same thing happened to me, my friend scuffed my clearcoat on the trunk with his golf bag. I took it into the dealer for my 5,000 mile check-up and asked them to buff it out and the scratches were gone and the trunk looked good as new. As Long as it only affected the clear-coat you should be fine with anything. I would reccomend asking your dealer for any products or help in taking the scratch off.

 

oh no... last time we parked our Acura Integra far away at a theatre parking lot and guess what... not got scratched... but emblem gone.... GONE!!!!!

 

Keying a car is worse than treason. Almost. Sorry to hear it happened to you.

My TSX got sideswiped by a shopping cart at a Target parking lot. I could feel the groove in the paintjob, but I took it to a detailer and he buffed it to the point where I can't see the scratch at all. That said, I haven't looked at the area with a magnifying glass or anything, and I don't know what distinguishes a "good" detailer from a bad one. This one cost $100 and it included buffing all the minor scratches out as well as a wash and wax.

For what that's worth...

 

Once again, WHAT A STUPID ASSWHOLE!!!!!!! I hate keyers!
