dang man, sorry you hear that.

Fixing it depends on how deep the scratches are, then maybe I can help some.

its along most of my passenger side and most of it isn't that deep. parts of it might just be the clear coat. but i think most of it is to the first layers of paint

try some type of rubbing compound. A cat jumped on my hood and left scratches. You just put the stuff on dry and then right away take it off. It will look dull after and then you wax it with mequiars #7 and it will bring then shine back. rubbing compound comes in all types of strengths depending on how deep the scratches.

It's called rubbing compound. I used the turtle wax rubbing compound but that is hard to find. I would imagine that they all are the same though.

i use to be afraid to wash my car cause everytime i did i found another scratch. Thank God bout 90% rubbed out but some dumba$$ drilled my passenger side and chunked it. Honda had there paint crew touch it up and looks hella nice but to get perfect i need to goto paint shop. Im dead serious, if i EVER see anyone hit my car AND try to walk away...im goin to jail, i dont care if its male/female i will beat the living hell out of u cause i find that $hit so disrespectful and almost 99% of time its some old POS that dont give a flip bout ur ride. Man this thread just gets me all wired up cause of how my car has been hit, i pity the fool that does this scenario cause alot of pent up rage is gonna xplod on the person.

Try the rubbing compound and hopefully it gets all or the vast majority of it but if its deep...paint shop bro

i know how you feel. when i saw that someone had did that to my car i was soo pissed of i wanted to just beat the living $hit outta the person. and if i ever find out who did it i will. i think its probably someone at my school too cause there jealous. i'm not trying to be conceded or anything, but when i have one of the nices cars in the parking lot and sometimes when i walk around the school i get complements on my ride, can;t help but think taht there are some people who are jealous.

If none of that works you can file on insurance but it will go up slightly....
Oh and only if you have full coverage.


Peace,
