Agreed. But it can't be worse than it already is.

When my friend did his car it came out fantastic. Granted, mine is worse, but as long as it looks better. I really don't have the money to repaint the whole bumper right now.

Thankfully her door had the rubber guards on the edges or I would have probably stabbed her face-wise.
Wow, that made my blood boil and it wasn't even my car. I don't understand how people are just so rude and careless when it comes to other people's belongings. It's one thing to fuck up your own shit but it's completely different when you mess with someone else's stuff.

Agreed. Do pursue that Turtle Wax option, as it really can help. If nothing else, I have a little trick (I don't think I invented it per se, but no one showed it to me, lol).

Take green painters tape (usually used for striping, and narrower than blue painters tape) and tape off perfectly around the scratches. It's a painstaking, one-at-a-time process, but once you've got it taped off, go over it with one pass of the touch up brush or airbrush. If you did it right, you'll be able to fill the scratch well without getting ugly buildup on top of the paint. Let it dry, peel the tape, start the next scratch.

That sucks, something very simular happened to me yesterday, went to orlando, and when I got back into tampa got out the car when I got to the bank noticed my front bumper was cracked on side with some white paint on it guessing some asshole hit it when I went inside to pay for gas before I headed back into tampa at the hess station next to uti, so I spent some time touching it up last night, might be time for a plastic oem s15 bumper for me im sick of this fiberglass crap.. But yeah no note or anything of course.
