Vandalism

[Astronyu]

Guys, just wanted to share saddest incident happened to me a month ago. My car was parked outside my house when I left Malaysia and after a few days got an email from my wife saying there was someone vandalize my car.Really pissed at them but not sure who. Probably just a naughty kid in the area.Haven't got a close look on them just yet as I am still oversea.How much would it cost to repaint/repair? Any suggestion?

Did you accidentally offended someone perhaps? It'll probably cost a few hundred to repaint the whole rear bonnet

bro you should try polishing it first. BTW since its black, it won't be noticeable if you were to respray it. Just make sure to polish the whole car, if not you will have one shiny ass!

Sad la ... Since the car is a few years old it may be very hard for the new paint to match the old. This really sucks la.

looking into the scratches it's pretty tiny hence it would be good if you could give any brand of polishing compound a try ...

Argh, tension tension..can't really do much from here. Have to wait till I get home before can go somewhere and try to fix it.
Any suggestion on the polishing material? Somewhere recommended or DIY?

I think you should just try to polish first..maby u can ask kc's in our detailing thread for advice

Respray only if scratches too deep unless you already want to do it...so try buffing it out first.

I keep a can of Soft 99 which is quite effective in removing scratch marks.

Thanks for the suggestion guys, will ask my wife to send the car for polishing first see if that works.
Since there are not much shop in Sungai Petani that I know off, maybe I'll just ask her to send it to Cars? Or are they not worth it?
