Another hit skip story.

I believed it happened at a Home Depot. I know it wasn't there noon yesterday bc I had just washed her. Got gas yesterday at 8ish and it was there. Before I got gas I was at Kroger.

Luckily I have an amazing girlfriend who sat down for an hour or so slowly rubbing it with dawn and water...luckily it came off. My gal is amazing because I was infuriated and wouldn't have had the patience. Looks good as new. Luckily no denting or scratches.

So yea

She could have had that off in about 5 minutes with a clay bar.

This is why I always park in "Timbucktoo" and walk a country mile if I ever take mine to the store. No note? Some people have no respect for another person's property.

Clay bar?

OK. I would have tried 3M Imperial glaze and a soft rag myself, then a really fine polish

happened to me 2 years ago on 4 July, on my silver car. White car rubbed me. Didn't notice for a few hours. Boy was I steamed

another thing that works really good (but i dont know if it will damage the paint/car) is if you use goo-gone. i accidentally made a mark similar to that on my moms '02 Z28 and used goo-gone; it literaly came off in 5 seconds. if you look at it no you'd never tell anything was there. she still doesnt know to this day

I suppose I will never understand some people...

I don't have a Camaro, but I do LOVE my Mazdaspeed 3. I park it as far away as possible from people. If I have to park in a full lot I will park next to an island and hug as close to it as possible. I still have two door dings...

The other night, leaving a Publix, I watched a women empty her groceries into her SUV and watch the cart roll slowly into an adjacent car. She just watched it roll, then hopped into her SUV, and started to back out.

Normally I am a pretty reserved person but I couldn't hold back from making a comment. I walked over to the cart, pulled it off the other car (which then blocked her from leaving) and placed the shopping cart right behind her bumper as she was getting ready to leave. She just started at me until I walked away.

As she got out of her car, disgusted, I told her she should learn to clean up after herself because her mom didn't tell her how. She looked at me and shook her head in disgust.
