Arrrrrrgh! Stupid me...
Trying to get out of a very tight parking spot next to a van... It was going perfect, but I did not take into account the van's front bumper sticking out more than I thought... So with a heart-wrenching scrape and a "bong" sound, I now have some battle scars on the side of my baby
Thankfully most of it was external and I could wipe it off with a damp cloth, but there are some more permanent problems: Barely visible, but there's a dent right in the middle of the door... This is a big streak down the door, but it seems to be a gummy material on the outside of the paint, maybe some of the van's clearcoat? I tried to rub it off with a damp cloth, but WD-40 might be more appropriate. This is the worst spot, on the edge of the actual car frame, down to the bone So what do you guys recommend for that last spot? can a touch-up pen be enough, or will there still be a risk of rust? Man, I was so pissed, I just floored it once I got on the road, got a nice chirp going into second gear, it was somehow soothing... But still, this is all my fault, I though I could just squeeze past... guess not...
