    Ever had one of those days?

    Got up this morning to this.
    WTF is wrong with people? The only consolation is i was one of 5 others targetted. Jeans's car, 4 other cars and a van all got various touches of red. Oddly the first car was my neighbours neighbour then jeans car, but oddly a gap where my neighbours daughter car was parked. Hmmm. If i find out who did it (unlikely) i break their fecking heads open.
    My Galant is the first really good car i've owned. In the time i've had it its been hit twice whilst parked in my street, keyed and now sprayed with paint. Why bother having a nice car when every scumbag walking along the road thinks they have the right to trash other peoples stuff? I wouldnt mind but its not a scummy area where i live, but it must be en-route to one!

    Im pretty sure i'll get the stuff off with some paintwork renovator tomorrow, but its gonna take a few hours. Rseholes!

    Yep red spray paint. I did a test patch this eve and some Autoglym Paintwork Renovator seemed to shift it. Just as well Halford have a 3 for 2 offer on all Autoglym products at the moment!

    What is wrong with people these days!

    I am glad to hear that you can get rid of it!

    'tis gone. After 2 hours work my car is now silver again. Was going to wash it properly and polish the whole thing, but hey 1 shiney side is beter than none!

    I expect to be flamed by the polish police for the above statement.

    Seeing as you've had a bad enough day already, this time I shall let you off and just issue a producer. Report to your local Polishing station within a week and prove your intent to clean.

    Glad you got it sorted easily!

    Not good news, but obviously you cleaned it all up. How did you go around the door handles? I thought that would have been quite difficult.

    Carefully. Just folded up the cloth so it had a nice edge to it and gently polished the paint out. If you look carefully you can see about 1mm of red paint, be only i would really know its there. Next time i have the door cards off i'll take the handles out and finish it off.

    You see! You see! Look how good that looks now!

    A happy ending. True, a *really* happy ending would involve the little scrote being hung upside down from his toenails and having his armpits set ablaze, but in Lieu of that, a shiny Galant will do quite nicely!

    OMG was that a compliment from K??

    I really really wanted to wax it and give it a good going over, but i havent got enough time!
    Might try for this weekend, as i only waxed the strip where i'd removed the paint from.
