Celica Forums General Discussion General I think someone freaking keyed my car!

I just got back from the movies with my girl.. I was standing beside my car and I look down and I see like 4 or 5 long ass scratches running from about the middle of my passenger door to the wheel well.. The thing is they are not deep at all (thank god.) Like someone might have brushed against me. But the scratches aren't in straight lines, which would happen if they did. And of course there is no freaking note or anything. I don't know what the hell happened but I am freaking pissed. Worst thing is I just spent the whole freaking day yesterday washing and cleaning it. So now I gotta get them out, suggestions for getting light scratches/scuffs out

that really sucks

buff away, and if that doesnt work you might wanna try wetsanding.

Yeah, what he said. It makes me so mad when I hear stories like this. Just because you have a nice car..they wanna screw wi0h it.

Yea, that's crazy people like that actually exist, it makes me sick

I wouldn't wet sand it without trying some other things first. Get some really good car wax, the 2 stage kind. Try that. If not, then try the mother's clay bar. I've heard good things about it.

This is why I don't like taking my car to the movies

I hear you, but damn it we payed good money for our car! And then we worked hard on mods and such making them just how we want. Then keep them clean and well tuned.(most of us anyway. heh heh) We shouldn't have to be scared to take something we love out in public for fear of some jealous ass messing with it. Thank you. *steps off his soap box*

lifes a bitch and so are people... good luck on finding out who did it

yea lot of jealous people out there

damn that sucks

if the scratches are indeed light then scratch X by maguire's is vwery good...after applying that wax it. but if it was keyed i doubt it is that light...you may need to repaint the panel.

i feel you man, i got keyed last year and cost me 500+ to get it fixed...that's 500 i didn't have to spend in the first place.

ditto.

hopefully it's not deeper than the clear coat though..that way it'll buff off.

you gonna be able to fix it in time for the meet you think?

Dude that sucks so bad, I cant understand how someone could do that. I wouldnt key by biggest enemys car, its just wrong..

There is this wax in an orange bottle, I am not sure what it is called because I used it all. But yeah my car has gotten hit with about 10 car doors and that took out the scratches and the blue and red paint on my door!!! I know how you feel I hate when people do shit to my car and not leave a note or anything especially because my car is white. GRRRR

My friend recomended some stuff by Turtel Wax. I'll check it out and let you guys know.



Oh yeah. I am hoping to have the scratches out my CAI installed. And maybe a Carbon Fiber hood if I can get the money together before the meet. (So many mods.. so little time.. and cash) I just need a good day to wash and wax my car the weather has been so crappy here as of late.
