#1: scratched car Author: Razor34, Location: CroydonPosted: Wed Oct 22, 2014 6:39 am ---- Basically told kids off for touching my car and they came back later and scratched all the drivers side from rear to front. The scratches I have tried to t-cut out and used scratch removal kit. It is a black Peugeot 206 so very noticeable. I have had a quote from chips away but cost is ridiculous at £720 and if I claim on insurance will probably write off. Does anyone on here know someone who can quote reasonable price to sort out as so gutted little buggers

I hope you manage to get it sorted bud
#3: Re: scratched car Author: Razor34, Location: CroydonPosted: Wed Oct 22, 2014 6:46 am ---- Hi already did that and police are doing nothing just gave me a crime reference number. I roughly sort of know who they are but cannot prove it and parents nowadays tend not to take responsibility for their kids especially where I live. They were only about 9/10 years old. I would not of dared touch peoples cars when I was a kid

Unless you have evidence you'll find the police are very reluctant to do anything as they can't prove anything.
We now have CCTV on the cars so if it ever happens again we'll have evidence and be able identify the culprit.
You could do what a mate of mine did and get some gloss wood paint and paint it, what a laugh he gave us.

#9: Re: scratched car Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Thu Oct 23, 2014 5:58 am ---- A friend of mine had this happen to his Corvette years ago ... black as well.
He spent hours with a very fine tipped paintbrush slowly building up the paint level in the scratch until it couldn't be seen again! But he was a bit OCD!
#10: Re: scratched car Author: Razor34, Location: CroydonPosted: Thu Oct 23, 2014 6:07 am ---- Blimey don't think I have the patience for that lol and definitely OCD

its always the way mate , well if you get the parts and when you get it painted you remove whats needed for paint that will save you money to.
#12: Re: scratched car Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Thu Oct 23, 2014 5:18 pm ---- Build up the paint with a touch up pen slowly, wait a day to let it dry. Cut it back with a heavy cut and rotary polisher and carry on repeating this process till you cant see it anymore
#13: Re: scratched car Author: Razor34, Location: CroydonPosted: Fri Oct 24, 2014 1:57 am ---- Thanks all
#14: Re: scratched car Author: Razor34, Location: CroydonPosted: Wed Nov 19, 2014 4:12 am ---- Well good news found a decent one man sprayer company not far from me who will do all 4 scratched panels over 3 days for £400 next Monday. Cannot wait to have a scratch free car again. On the negative side I now don't park by my house, couple of roads away as don't trust the little gits
