Default Help: My scion tc got keyed up

I bet some people have had this happen to u. You park your beautiful scion tc at the end of the parking lot, to aviod door dings , at the mall. Its dark when you come back and might not notice. The next day i went to school and noticed a stratch on my door, then noticed it on my quarter panel, then F*ck its on the trunk and repeated on the other side of the car also the hood and gas cap. What pot head punks in there mothers car would think of hurting my baby.
They are about 3 inch long stratches, mid deap on doors and quarter panel and light on trunk and alittler deeper but smaller stratch on hood. It could of been worst but i still feel very fureous and ____ed off.
Anyone recomend any stratch removing/filling products that are PROVEN to work on your own scion? What about touch up paint at the dealer? My car is indigo ink so its very noticeable

If it helps i will post pics when its light outside cuz its late now

sup bro... i work for a used car dealership an all i do is buff cars with scratches all day. so yea if u cant see metal then you might get lucky an buff them out. try that first. an if that doesnt work wet sand with 1500 or 1200 then buff again...then this should either make the scratch go away or shrink...so if shrunk throw touch up in it...good luck

I feel you pain man. My tc got keyed 6months after I got it and I still dont understand why people do this. I can never find it in me to damage or vandal other peoples property. Someone might have been jealous of your tc. I assume you dont have any beef with anybody right? Touch up paint wont work. Try going to a local body shop and maybe they could buff some of it up but it will definitely need repainting on some of the damage. I got keyed from the driver side door until the quarter panel under the gas door and insurance paid about $1100 for everything. Hope everything works out for you man.

BTW go back to the mall that you went to. Ask them if they have any cameras on the area you parked at. You might catch the jackass that did this to your tc.

Nope i dont have any beef with anyone, i know it was a jealousy thing. I asked if the have camras but they dont have any. If my scratches wur deeper and longer along the car then i would file a caim with insurance. It looks like sontin i can touch up for now to prevent rust, then when i get money do a two tone paint job

damn kid, I probably know what mall if you live in old bridge.. im thinking menlo or woodbridge.. Get some pics up so I can see what the scratches look like. I have experience with detailing and paint so if it's something I can do then I'll get rid of them, and if not then I'll let you know what has to be done or someone who can paint it for you..

I hate when ___s do stuff like this cuz it messes up everything for no reason... Too bad its all around the car. If someone keyed just my door I would leave it to show that other people like my car enough to car... It's basically a compliment, although I'm sure it doesn't feel like one...

So yea get some pics and I'll see what I can do..

Freehold and Ocean are the only malls I will set foot in.
Monmouth mall is a bunch of hood-rats and wanna-be thugs with excessive neckwear and low IQ's.
