Came out from dinner with this surprise...

Where did this go down?
Ask for near by building for video footage.
You might get lucky and they will be so screwed!

From the picture, it looks like it will buff out. I had similar looking damage coming out after work. Some people...

Most of it buffed out and the rest was touched up by moi. Sorry that happened.

Awwww, damn... Sorry!!!

There's a special place in hell for people who vandalize or ding other people's cars.

zefaulter · 12-05-2013, 05:32 AM

Damn... That really sucks. Had this happen to me as well. It ruined the night
Get a dashcam!

Looks like there's more than paint damage there. Some people don't care about other's property, don't have any integrity, or don't understand the passion of owning a particular car. I had a Titan a few years back that someone backed into. Luckily my wife was in the truck which the other driver realized and they hung around. We both had State Farm and it was taken care of quickly.

I had a F350 lifted and pretty well taken care of
Came out of the movies and some POS keyed the whole driver side from bumper to bumper and worst part it was all the way down to metal , man that facked up my day

Every time I take the Z out and I park somewhere I always have that thought in back of my mind

Hopefully you can get that taken care of and not cost you a arm and a leg

kenchan · 12-05-2013, 09:43 AM

sorry to see.

yah, if you arent planning on having this repaired via insurance, try a product called ScratchX2.0 and a foam pad. it should polish most of it out as elan posted. GL!

if there is dent, after you polish it out, consult a PDR tech. most dealers have a contracted mobile team come around to push out dings on used cars. they can do yours too, with appointment probably. dentwizard.com PDR can be done on metal and plastics.

Thanks for the great ideas! PDR might be my next step after a quick wax and wash.

...I already parked in the furthest spot in the parking lot to try to avoid this!

I recall a similar situation! I was leaving the movies and remembered some massive F350 cut me off but failed to notice. First time I ever keyed a vehicle but man did it feel good!
