Things like this use to really bother me but not so much anymore. One of my rims got several curb rash spots on it and there's a scratch under my drivers door. I think that is from the dealer's car wash but can't prove it. Oh well. I still enjoy my car.

Yep that seems to be the answer as I see no other way to avoid this.

That sucks esp. coming from your co worker. Some are just plain careless. The other night I left a space about 3 ft wide and they still managed to ding my door. Luckily it didn't go through the paint. Hope you can get it fixed to your expectation. Some of us love our cars a little too much and that sometimes causes some headache.

All she could say was sorry, I gave anyone that was gonna park next to me enough room, people really just don't care amazing and I'd rather not get it fixed as it will look worse.
What it looked like before I tried some scratch X and meguairs detailer.

Wow, I'm sorry to see that it happened to you. I still see a mark on your door even after the scratch X and Meguairs applications..

I would actually exchaged info and go straight to professional repair.
I like my Lexus to be in excellent condition.
