I have a guy in Queens for you. The same guy that does my car. PM me for info.

This was done in Manhattan on the Westside. Unless it was a bum passing buy with his shopping cart w/ a ***** load of soda cans, I think it was keyed. I just hate it when people do no respect other's property. Any how, I will keep you guys posted. Thursday looks like the warmest day of the week for me to sit outside and buff out my car and have it done before the meet on Saturday. Old Man Winter is here.

That is nothing. Get some 3m buffing compound, and orbital buffer, and take that scratch out. Seems like it should come out.

You can take it out with your PC. I doubt you can damage it with a PC at a low setting...Try some scratch-X by hand, that'll work as well...

Thanks guys, but I found someone that is going to do it for me within the next couple of weeks. He is from Autopia and has a few years of experience, hope he will be able to get it out. If all else fails, I will PM you guys.
