WHAT DO I DO???
I don't wash my car as much as it should be done, but I'm the only one who touches my cars.

I think @Cycotech had a similar incident happen to him. See if you can get it fixed however he did.

Philnathropy has many faces and ways of propagating. I know part of lasts nights discussion involved some fundrasing talk...
This event is going to be a fundraiser for a fallen officer so it's going to be a big one...I have seen as many as 75 Ferraris out there. If you do decide to go, no pressure, never is with me, get there EARLY! I am up at 0400 no matter what day of the week so I will be there by 0600 to get a good spot. Once the heat comes on people tend to leave which is around 0900, though they could stay later. Every month is different.
From the Scottsdale Cars and Coffee Facebook page: "Friends next months Scottsdale Motorsports Gathering/ Scottsdale Cars & Coffee theme will be a fund raiser for Officer Brandon Mendoza who was killed earlier this week. We will be asking for donations no matter how small or large they may b...e. Also planning on auctioning off a the prime parking spot in the front row at our gathering. The highest donor will have a reserved spot with a his/her name on it for a year. So you could show up anytime and your spot will be waiting. More details to follow just start passing the word around."


At the least, thank you for your time in reading this...

Jason
I too go there once in a while, but your point is well taken, I haven't seen a fellow 86 when I'm there.

I'll try to make it this week.

Well it wasn't at the car wash but damaged by the person who tinted my car. Had to use my comprehensive to fix it because how deep the scratches were. The place where I got my tint refused to admit it so I filled a bbb report on them. The scratch may be able to buff out what I'm seeing from the picture. I can't tell how deep the scratch is.

@Juggles how deep are those scratches? Is the paint gone or does it look like it just got into the clear a little? I'd check with the car wash, however I'm sure they'll argue quite a bit and you may not get anywhere. If all else fails, you can attempt to polish it out depending on how deep they are. If you go that route, start with a less abrasive polish/compound and move up from there.

It looks like clear coat scratches, not too deep. Le sigh... anyone have suggested polish to try? Fml.

I like Meguiar's Scratch-X. You can pick it up at pretty much any auto store.

There is a better way, one letter from an attorney really corrects attitudes quickly. You should give it a try.

A buddy of mine is a detailer. I can connect you two if you can't sort it out. He's ridiculously detailed. He and I spent 11 hours on my CBR one day...
