never knows best...

dry as toast

Not a good weekend for my car... I noticed Sunday morning that my front driver side bumper was scratched up pretty badly, luckily the damage was pretty low on the bumper and not too large of an area, unluckily it was pretty scrathed up (some cracked/peeling paint). So I think to myself: I don't remember seeing that before, and I hope it wasn't from the carwash (I went through an auto carwash on Saturday night), and damn it's probably from some the car that was parked in front of me, and I hate Berkeley street parking, and aww well tough bananas.

Zoom to today, I'm usefully spending my time at work researching how I can get rid of the scratches and decide I'll go to the auto parts store later today to try to pick up some supplies. I get the 3M stuff that was recommended a couple of times on tech forums to buff it out and some Mother's wax to help seal it afterwards. After I finish buffing away and clearing up most of the scratches (can't do much about the missing paint), I check over my car and notice that I have a scratch running from my front passenger headlight to half-way to the front door. Crap! I got keyed too!!? Pissed off I try buffing some more and applying some wax, but it looks about the same. I guess I'll try an iterative process and try to buff it out over the week.
