Any idea's on how to remove very bad scratches. The ex decided she didnt like the way my black 99se trunk looked, so she made some upgrades with her KEYS! B*tch! They extend from one end of the trunk to the other. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Bird seeds on her car? You said any reply would be appreciated. If the scratch is bad, no idead, if it is a thin and not too deep, scratch out might help.

For your car, I would try polishing (not rubbing) compound.

For HER car, put some leftovers in a blender. Pour the mixture INTO the passenger rear door (probably the least used). You will have to use a small tube between the window and the door. Add a few scoops of ants. In a week or so, she will have her very own rolling ant farm!! FUN for the whole family!

Paint and wet sand it. You need a spray bottler with water and a little alcohol, 1500 grit sandpaper, 3M Fine Cut Rubbing Compound and a good wax. I would say if the scratches are deep it would be a tougher job to do with wet sanding but it will work. Get the same color touch up paint and fill the scratch with the paint. It's ok if paint is raised and uneven. Let it dry hard. Then get 1500 Grit sandpaper and a spray bottle with water. Wet down the spot you are going to sand first and sand in a cirular motion until the touch up piant is smooth with the original paint. Clean the spot you've just sanded and dry it off. Use the 3M compound to clean up the spot you just sanded and wax afterward. At first, the way the paint will look will scare you after sanding but the compound will bring the shine back. Do a small spot to test first. You will be impressed.

As for your ex, call you insurance agent and make her pay for the damages if you decide you don't want to do the work yourself.

One thing i could not do is vandalize someone car, cause I just can't hurt cars. You should post some nudies of her on the net or something. That would be worse.

Well, I can;t help with the scratches, but balogna on her car when the sun is out would be a lot of fun. . . Make it polka-dot as it somehow makes the paint fade where the bolonga was.

1. Take pictures
2. As how she's going to pay for it
3. If she *****es about it, make a police report.
4. She pays for new paint job....

That sucks man, I hope you resolve it.

Yesterday after work, I went to 3 different body shop, Mossy Nissan, A benz dealer, and another body shop...the cheapest quote was for $250 bucks! Does anyone know any body shops in San Diego that would be able to help me out, hopefully for a cheaper price. Im even willing to drive to L.A. The estimater at Nissan said that its not only scatched but also dented in to the trunk. I am so far trying to be really calm about the situation but the more quotes I hear the more PI$$ed I get. So again if anyone could help I would appreciate it.

I see you are ****ed. Tell your insurance agent, go to the appraiser to take pictures, then take it to a Nissan Dealership or some good auto body shop. She will have to pay for it.

There is this place in Chula Vista called Superior Auto Body. They do really good work, and it shouldn't be that expensive.

the devil is for sure a woman, no man could ever be that evil...... grown men don't key each other's cars no matter how much they dislike each other, there are some boundaries of respect that you just don't cross; for some reason these boundaries mean nothing to women

Ex. Couple divorces, woman fights for baseball card collection in court only to burn it once in her possession, guys would never fight for a wicker basket and then burn it..... women .... Oh sorry I have no idea how to remove a scratch from a car, just understanding

You can get it from Pepboys or a Walmart type store with an auto section.
