BlackShadow

I just changed back to my stock tires/rims and decided to wash my car since it was so dirty from all the dirty snow on the road. I usually wash it myself but my backyard was covered with over a foot of snow and that is where the hose is. So I decided the next best thing is to go to a car wash, a brushless one.

So I took my baby down to a "hand wash" only down on Elizabeth Ave in Elizabeth. After the wash, I checked and everything was fine.

Tell me why after I parked my car at Jersey Gardens mall that I noticed a few scratches on my hood and trunk. These scratches were very noticeable since my car is black. I was ****ing fuming.

Since I wanted to cover-up those scratches, I used the Acura touch-up paint last night. I know it doesn't work that well but I was desperate.

I know there was a topic on how to cover-up or get rid of the scratches but I can't find it. If you know where it is please post the link. Thanks.

Sorry for the long post, I had to vent.

How deep are the scratches? They may be polishe, waxed or buffed out. But since you opted for the touch up paint it seems pretty deep.

But sorry to hear your situation.

Oh man...I know how you feel. I don't just have scratches...I have a HUGE scrape on my bumper. Some fool must have back up against it.

Anyway...I wish someone, maybe one of the site maintainer would put some of the useful hints on these posts into the FAQ. Because sometimes you wish you can find some stuff you've read that were useful but when you need it, you can never find it.
