I was at my cousin's house today and was parallel parking into a spot which had a fence right next to it, I hit the fence and rubbed my right rear bumper against it. I though it was scratched but it turned out that it was the coating of the fence. I'll post up pics soon of the damage, and how I cleaned it up.

 

That is why I like my rear sonars. Would buzz you to madness! And you would not hit a fence.

But, don't you have a backup camera?

Sorry that happened. And it is reasons like these that make me never want to lease a car. I always feel it is never really my car. And if something like this happens, and say the bumper is bent you worry more than someone who is buying a car. Glad you got it fixed, though.

 

rubbing compound

 

Use clearcoat safe rubbing compound otherwise bye bye clearcoat!

 

Someone can't drive .

 

Yea thats what i used, and it worked really good, I had to apply and wash like 8 times, lol and I still have more work to do.

 

Yea, Thanks, I do have the rear camera but the fence I hit was on the side, I was too worried about hitting the car behind me.

 

\

lmaooo, I can drive I was just a little distracted.

 

That's what they all say..

At least you were able to get most of it out.

 

yea, Thank god for that, and thank Nissan for having really good resisting paint!

 

OUCH!! I feel your pain man, thankfully mines is still mint lol. Hope it all comes out though bro

 

Thanks alot man, Im pretty sure after like an hour of work tomorrow my car will be as clean as it was the day i Scooped it, It looks alot better now after I got most of it off, When I saw how it looked after I got out of my car I thought I was havin a horrible nightmare, lol. I was so damnn mad!

 

Aha I hear you on that bro lol. It's okay though, I get these nightmares lately of me hitting something in my car, feels so real and then I wake up and it's just a sigh of relief lmao!! Sad I kno...

 

yes I love waking up from bad nightmares like that! lol. Yea too bad I was awake when i did this, lol. I was very relieved when I started to see my beautiful radiant silver paint after applying turtle wax a few times! Im very thankful It didnt even come close to penetrating the clearcoat.

 

I feel your pain brother. I scraped both driver side wheels as I was exiting the touchless carwash. Have some minor curb rash on both wheels. I know it's probably not very comforting but at least you're not the only one that hurt their baby today. Unfortunately I will have to buff out my damage with green cash.

 

That's what I like to hear! And Nissan does in fact have very good resistant paint!

 

Yes! I was so amazed at the quality of the paint, Im so happy I chose a Nissan, if this was my 03 Impala, it would be in the bodyshop rite now.

 

I have noticed that Nissan's paint has improved since my last one in 2007. That car had ultra thin paint that would chip at the smallest stone hitting it. The Maxima does seem to have much better quality paint.

 

ughh that sucks glad it came out tho

 

Man i Just dinged my 3 day old '10 thi smorning. Coming from Atlantic City to NYC I was dead tired (6am only 1 hour sleep..long story as to why i had to drive). I pulled intoa rest stop to take a nap. I turned into a parking spot where there was a curb and not realizing how far forward my hood extended, heard a painful scraping as my front bumper scraped over the sidewalk. Quickly reversed and jumped out. No visible damage except a msall inch long though very thin scrape on the bottom right of the bumper. Hard to seeunless you look for it but man, I'm so depressed over it.

My girlfriend suggested it could be smoothed out some how so that it didn't look as rough but it was a real downer, I've been so careful with my new ride ...Haven't had a chance to check for undercarriage damage but If there is any it is most probably superficial.

 

Guess it's time to share my story...where i faired much worse than you guys. Late one night I was maneuvering around a tight parking lot and there was about 4 feet of a random piece of steel that overlapped as part of a guard rail. I ended up backing into this sharp piece of steel leaving about a 4 inch gash with a dent in my rear passenger door. If I had kept on going there is a very good chance I could have pieced a hole in the door. I was absolutely heartbroken and disgusted with myself (and the parking lot).

There was a happy ending though. A family friend owns a body shop and for $250 he repainted and filled in the dent. Looks like it never happened, but i never want to go through that again!

 

Im so sorry man, Im very fortunate bc today i got all the damage out, will post pics soon btw. Im so sorry man and good luck.

 

use polishing compound and if that doesn't do the job then try rubbing compound.

 

My story was a bit less fortunate. A fence door adjacent to my driveway opened itself at night. When I backed out, the latch gouged two inches of my passenger door down to the steel and my right mirror. This, on a car with 1800 miles. The repair was $500. It was not a happy day.

 

anyway, you are safe. so u are still a lucky man

I hope you are able to get it fix soon. Good luck bro.

 

Thanks alot singhmax, I did fix it yesterday, the car is good now, just needs a car wash. That rubbing compound stuff works wonders.

 

I feel your pain.
Mine was about 3 weeks old in January when I took out the passenger side mirror backing out of the garage with barely any room next to my wife's SUV, talk about pissed off....
That was a nice $300 lesson, ordered the new mirror assembly from Courtesy Nissan and installed it myself to at least save some $$.

 

I hurt mine the other day as well so I know how you feel bro! Got behind a truck spitting rocks from it's new tires. Scratched the front fascia. Anyone know how to cleanly fix scratches without taking it to a body shop?!

 

You should try some rubbing compund thats what cleaned my car up really good.

 

Good thing to use is graffiti remover. It does not hurt the cars paint.
