anyone else's TL seem like a magnet for scratches? It seems like no matter how far away i park, how careful i am-there are always new scratches.....

Like today i noticed a strip of white paint on my anthracite door handle where someone had bumped my handle with their white door. Was there a note? of course not! How did this happen when i park the farthest away from wherever i am going an never park next to anybody? who knows.....all i can do is take it to the detailing shop and have them buff it out and fix the scratches... oh well, just venting

 

HAHA, yaaaa I know how you feeling, with my NBP ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is noticeable.

Thats why I park away from everyone like in the corner.

I don't expect anyone to leave a note when they rub against my baby, they too ashamed!!!! and dont wanna be blamed for it.

Seems like a DIY!!!!!!

 

yeah it could be a DIY, but i take it there every month or so for a good once over (inside and out) and i might as well put their professional skills to work!

 

DAMN EVERY MONTH!!! Must be rollin in the loot! I agree with you if you gonna take it there, let them do their magic!

 

i wouldnt go straight to rolling in loot...i wish, i am just OCD about my car and hate when there are scratches/dings-i would much rather have a pro do it then myself, who is not very mechanically inclined! I can sure spot a scratch, but not very good at removing them!

 

if u are scratch magnet,

i am hater magnet

 

oh shit son, sorry twinky... damn... that shit hurts....

 

WOW! WTF... That's gotta hurt.

 

Someone was really pissed off at you to do a deep scratch like that to your car. What did you do?

 

oh shit that is bad! That makes the scratches on my car look like absolutely nothing!!!

 

Damn that hurts just looking at it!

 

yes, it hurts.. but i am waiting till i graduate to paint it..

4 more months of immature high school!

everytime, i hear scratches... ppl don't know what a scratch is.. when they see my car.. it makes me cry but i have aspec now.. so i am slightly happy!

 

yeah...that is a scratch. I dont know what mine is compared to that-maybe like a piece of hair that you can only see in perfect light but otherwise is not visible.... that on your car, my friend, is a scratch

 

yes sir,

its okay. on the bright side it was better than the 2nd gen WDP TL i saw on the forums.. omg.. his car is BADDDDDDD. ex bf of some girl went crazy on his car.

 

damn that sucks, it makes me mad how ignorant people can be towards others who work hard, and try to mantain and take care of there things. no respect. I would whoop someones a$$ if I caught them doing something to my car like that.

 

The TL is certainly a magnet of dings, scratches, chips, etc. My wife's poor TL has been to the ole' Dent Wizard many times. Had to have the rear quarterpanel pushed out and numberous door dings removed.

Not sure why it happens ... I jsut chalk it up to the fact that respectful, intelligent people are a SMALL minority in this world

 

My car has had both bumpers repainted numerous times, and yet every few weeks there will be a new mark where some dumb ass apparently can't park. I some how have a door ding in my A-pillar, anyone who can explain how that happened has one hell of an imagination.

 

yeah they are definitely in the minority....people just dont respect other peoples things. Maybe i just notice it more because i drive a nicer car, but i used to have no problem with this at all!
