Bummer, but never wipe the salt or sand off, it should be washed off to prevent scratching

That sucks! Some people have no respect for other people's property.

that sucks man. I have the same color in my GS so I can imagine its even more noticeable. I always park over two spots when I goto the mall and I park as far away as possible. Even at the office I always park over 2 spots. Again I am sorry about the drama

It's amazing how people park these days. I usually park far away from the others cars, but whenever I return, I see cars parked all around me.

That looks pretty bad- I have a similar mark on my car too from someone in a parking lot somewhere, but I've left it alone because hey, you can't keep your car clean forever haha
Good luck with the patching up!

I try to park away, but regardless if it's far waway from the building or close up .....I don't care I always take up two parking spots. Even in my 350 it's seems people are just drawn to drive stupidly and act stupid around it.
