Default Someone hit my car...

Mall parking lot, friday night, area known for bad drivers.

Is there anyway to get the paint off?

WOW, when I saw the scrapings I thought "that is a body shop deal, not automotive detailing". That scratch X is amazing, I will have to get it

Thanks for this thread. I just noticed my brand new GS got scuffed in a parking lot and was about to ask if Meguiar's Scratch X works well. So pisst, looked like some idiot clipped my rear passenger corner when they were parking.

Did you replace the reflectors too? They looked clear in the original picture.
