Well, last saturday my girlfriend and I decide to go see the new matrix around 8pm. We get to the theatres and park the z in the 5th row very close to the back. Well lets cut to coming back from out of the movie, now we come back out and 2 new cars are parked next to the z (yes I remember everyone I park next to) I ask my girlfriend to check for door dents etc, She says, "I WANT YOUR CAR." I was like umm what ? Someone wrote it on your car (my car was dirty at the time, had a car meet the next day and decided to wash it in the daylight so I could see what I was doing) I looked at it laughed and we got in and drove off. I get home tell a few people about it and they found it funny as well. So I wash her the following day and it appears to be fine.
Fastforward to tonight (5 days later) I am pumping gas. The florecent lights of the gas station are beaming down on my car. The car is a little dusty, no big deal, then I see it again! "I WANT YOUR CAR" Same writing same everything, of corse someone didn't do it again, it was there from last time. I licked my finger and tried to wipe a little piece of the letter R off and nothing came off. So, I get the reciept for the gas, jump in my car and head home. Get the water out and water her down. Wash her and then procede to try and get these damned letters off the car. NOTHING!
Now I am realizing this is either smears in the Zaino or SCRATCHES! Okay, stay calm. I get out my claybar and some lube and clay over the letters. Still there... Now for the z5... Still there. And For the z5 layer #2 Less there but still there none the less! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MY BABY! I was so upset. I layered on some z2 over it. Then some z6 to finish it off. It is still there but its more subtle now. You can only see it when light reflects off of it.
Can anyone recommend something to do to take these out. They appear to possibly be scratches in the clearcoat (well I know they are) because its not down to the paint or anything, just surface scratches. What to do?!!?

 

is it thin like with a pencil..or was it smudged with a finger...maybe you need to dawn the car...maybe its grease??

 

That sucks. I'm sure the person who fingered in that message didn't mean any harm. But with the black Z's weak clearcoat, im sure you're gonna need some compound and a LOT of zaino to get that out. At least it won't require a repaint. Sorry to hear.

 

Thats what I am thinking. I guess I will try dawn this weekend but that wont wotk. Its scratches you can see them perfectly in the clearcoat.
