Yup, check out the article below and consider filing a claim.



Drivers file claims after hitting tar on 1431

Wow looks like I didn't get the worst of it. Some of those people got it bad.

I have about 5-6 more rock chips and had to fix a chip in the windshield on the Z. My other cars have the same thing... I doubt they'll pay for me a new paint job. Everything else I was able to fix or clean up with no cost or little effort.

Ugh, that's terrible. I'm glad noone was injured, and hopefully those with damaged cars get reimbursed.

In other news, I got my wet diamond sealant in, so, looks like Monday/Tuesday is going to be a nice detailing project, weather permitting.

jsutton2 06-21-2015 10:57 AM
Yup... I was going to get out to C&C but I knew it would rain again.

at least you're not sitting in a parking lot of a water park waiting on the rest of your family.

My mom's wonderful planning skills lol. Still sitting here wait while watching storm clouds roll by.

^I won't blame you - the weather forecast is sloppy these days. It was supposed to be 10% on friday and it rained all morning.

That day when that "storm" came through, it was showing yellow over my area...not a drop of rain!

p.s. any small meets this week? I've had the car for two months but I haven't been to any gatherings! :(

Not sure! I'm polishing and sealing the Z today. Taking a break for food, but, I am normally free Monday:s and Tuesdays. I work nights otherwise.

Pintsize725 06-22-2015 05:09 PM
I don't have a Z anymore soooo......

Morbid370Z 06-22-2015 10:25 PM
Didn't quite finish up this evening. Just need to do the front left fender and front bumper, then apply sealant.

I'll wake up and finish in the morning. Never want to do this again. >.>

What are you using for the polish?

The V36/V38 stuff that came with my Torq DA orbital. It worked well! Probably a 90% swirl reduction.

jsutton2 06-25-2015 08:28 PM
Did you have rock chips or any imperfections in your paint before doing this? Mine has eaten some rocks as of late and I think it's too late for my paint, the damage is done kinda thing... I really don't want to re-paint because I'm so scared no one will do it right.

I had my pearl white resprayed at Caliber Collision on 620 and the match was spot on.

H&R in Leander matched my husband's red 350Z really well too.

Yeah, it's been my DD for a bit over a year so it has rock chips abound. I stopped worrying about it after the first three or so. Or maybe it was the pole I backed into the first night I had the car. Dunno!

So, while the rock chips stand out a tad bit more now, the rest of the paint looks really nice. There are still swirls, but not nearly as many and it's super shiny. :D I'm happy with the results.

Your silver is likely MUCH more forgiving than black. Hell, anything is likely more forgiving than black. The metallic flakes pop like crazy now though, I really like it.

Basically this.

Chemical Guys BUF_501X - TORQ® 10FX Random Orbital Polisher Kit (9 items)

Seems like this is the normalized price wherever you find it now.

Morbid370Z 06-29-2015 11:01 AM
Doing my second (and last) layer of sealant today. Weee!

Vacation for me. Just got back yesterday. Took the family to the FL Keys for a week.

Pintsize725 07-27-2015 01:20 PM
Thinking about wheels for the Mazda. I'd bug about a meetup but the 6 cant keep up.

Omg, that's the worst!!!!

Don't you wish you had a video?! It's probably a good thing you don't... Because if you're anything like me, I'd find them and completely destroy their car for principle. And, that's probably harder than it sounds, because it's probably already a piece of crap.

Blacklisted91 07-30-2015 10:24 AM
It ruined my day. I even parked ALLA THE WAY IN THE BACK of the mall parking.

We were there Wednesday evening with the wife's brand new Accord (<100 miles on it). Parked right up front. No issues :icon17:

Sorry to hear about the jacka$$ encounter. There is no end to them unfortunately. I really want a 360 degree motion-activated dash cam.
