F***ers scratched my car

I cannot let anyone touch my car again!!

I brought it into a stereo/security place to get a new aftermarket remote. They drive it through these plastic drapes. These things sliced right through my paint and parts of my windshield. I've literally got hundreds of thin lines running up the hood, across the doors, on the top, and on the trunk.



I think it went through the clear coat and maybe slightly into the paint. I waxed for about an hour today, just on the hood, and only the minor scratches came out. Is there anything I can use to get things out? I'm not bringing it to anybody anymore. What's the deal with compound, does that work? I can't take this crappy paint anymore!!

Thanks for your help.

Sorry man!

Yeah, a professional auto detailer may be able to help. If possible get those Bozos at the shop to pay for it, it's their fault!

Sorry for the scratches. I'm sure a pro detailer can get a lot of the scratches out. My neighbor has a Honda Accord and a psycho ex-girlfriend. Apparently she sometimes likes to leave him messages, usually on the car doors. He takes it to a local detailer and the scratches disappear.

I noticed small scratches in my paint after going through the "touch-free" car wash. I think my california car duster probably scratches Nissan's "diamond" tested paint job.

Sorry to hear that bro, if you take it the pro's definatly make the audio place pay. I have some car wax that is made specifically for my black car and helps bring out the scratch's and leaves a great shine. Haven't used it on my max, but on my old black car and it worked great

I use that SR97 product. Pretty good for small scratches I think I got it at a car wash place. (little white bottle with blue label ). I think GS27 is ok also. I saw a past post mentioning good things do a search.
