if you live in SoCal.. hit up eyezack87. he's a buddy of mine and he does good stuff with polishing out key marks. i had an X keyed into my passenger side quarter panel and it was deep into the metal and now you cant even see it

^^ i feel ya. Only thing is that it wasn't parked at home and I live in the suburbs lol. The first 2 times it happened at school; once in high school and once during my first semester at college. I just want to be able to go somewhere and park my car without having to worry about coming back to it all screwed with...

That is messed up. Hope you'll be able to get it looking good as new.

I hate hearing about this every time and I wouldn't want it to happen to me. I've had my share of hit and runs in the past on another car.

^Hey, do you know any good body shops in SoCal? 100 compared to 1000 is a huge difference. Thanks
I'm from Norcal but you can easily search up a good bodyshop through yelp in your area.

Honestly, if this is happening consistently. It might not be random vandalizing but someone is targeting your car specifically.

You should invest in some sort of portable cameras.

Honestly... unless your pulling into the parking lot and revving the engine or making a scene... I dont see why anyone would want to key your car... Somebody doesnt just say, wow I hate this car, I wanna key it.... But you might just also have bad luck! Get some touch up paint... and do your best with some scratch remover!

My detailer told me that if you fill in the scratch, you can buff away the excess (what they do with rock chips). So I'm guessing if you used dr color chip to fill it in (even has stuff to get rid of the excess) and hit it with a quick buff it shouldn't be noticeable
