Ok this sucks....Things/people are aiming for my black Z

1) A friggin nut from a tree hits my hood while i am crusing at 65 mph on the road. Put a dime sized dent on my hood...

2) Someone from a building or road or somewhere threw something at my car while I was driving in Boston. It was raining hard and when the impact was made I didnt know what it was..I stopped 4 blocks later and looked under the car thinking I hit something...Upon complete inspection I found some dirt marks on top of hood and knew then that someone had flinged something at the car... Later next day while I am washing the car, I notice that whatever the object was, had made multiple scractches on my hood. The whole area affected is size of a palm and has multiple scratches in that area. The scratch isnt very deep but when looked upon closely will be revealed.

3) Another time I am coasting at 60 on highway and some retard in a beat up beamer passes me by.....I get all this water sprayed over the front end and windshield of my car and proceed to use my windshieldl wipers...Hmmmm it wont come off...So i stop the car at next gas station and realize the stuff wasnt water...Its some oil or chemical from exhaust or whatever...When I handwashed the car next time it didnt come off. Stuff is not really noticable unless you look for it real closely...What it resembles is very small iron metal fillings stuck to the paint.

So any suggestions for problems 1, 2, and 3? Will claying get rid of problem 3? Will polishing get rid of most of problem 2? and will the $100 dent removal job work for problem 1 since its the hood? On a side note...how much does a whole new hood cost usually?

I have had it, I am getting a handgun license now.

 

the ding pullers work magic...well worth it

the chemical should not have affected the paint unless you have not properly waxed yet. If thats the case, try the ABC chemical wash, or maybe just swirl remover polish...

 

damn dude, sorry about all that. I know how Boston can be I was there 2 days ago and on my suspension the roads still suck

I would suggest trying some simple green, diluted with water on the windshield. If that doesnt work, there is this high quality window cleaner out. It comes in an aerosol can. name slips me for some reason right now, oh yeah its 2am.

also, do you live IN the city? I would love to meet up with ya to take a look at the Z and talk with ya about some things about my future purchase.

Why do you say he was a retard? Was it because he passed you or because he was driving a beemer? Do you think he sprayed your car on pourpose?



seriously, do you think the Z is more prone to scratches because of weak paint or soft aluminum hood? Or do you think that any other car would suffer the same damage?

 

When done correctly, the paintless dent removal works great. Don't let them "buff" the finish after they remove the dent. They may inadvertently "cut" through the clearcoat.

You live in Massachusetts: you're not getting a permit to carry a handgun!

 

Him driving a beamer had nothing to do with him being a retard. I dont think his car would pass the next emission test. Dude was sparying **** all over the place from his car. Not just mine.

In all 3 of these cases any car would suffer the same damage. Its a case of being at the wrong place in the wrong time.

 

I live in Framingham but I frequent the city. Let me know whats a good time to meet up and such. I can show you the Z and I will try to answer all your questions to the best of my knowledge and ability!

 

Im free whenever. I usually work until 5 on most days, some days I have to close. I wouldnt mind taking road trips to Framingham, not that far from me. I live by Braintree. Or if youd like to break your car in some more, come down here Have a bunch of people who would gawk and admire your fince automobile

Had someone "spill" coffee and cream all over my passenger door and window. Probably an accident I'm sure. Be careful where you park guys and girls. People are such jerks if they want to be.

 

that sucks man. I had some dood run over an unopened yogurt cup next to my car, and the yogurt exploded all over the side and hood, and then dried to a rock hard cake.
