WOW just wow....
Well, today I did a walk over of my car and found the folowing:
1: 10 bagillion scratches on my rear garnish piece
2: some dumb stupid person decided to dent my door
and 3: turns out i hit a curb somewhere a while back and my mom said my tire was flat so i took it to discount tires and turns out THEY TORE A SMALL PIECE OF THE TIRE next to the rim. grrrrrrrr
anyways thats it... turns out ur first car always gets the hardest time...

Unfortunately with your color, you're going to see ALL scratches, dings, dents, etc. If it bothers you that much call a detailing specialist (a GOOD one) in your area. "Cut and Polish" would probably run you $300-$400 but it will look brand new.

LOL.....yeah scratches can get pretty $$ to fix if they are bad enough. I have some pretty worn jacked paint on my civic that I will be wet sanding and such to bring back to life. Long process but worth it,

Yeah, it $ucks. I feel your pain. I have a couple of nicks on my Lip Spoiler from the good ol' garage door. (Lifting up the hatch to get inside and not paying attention as how close it was to the back of the raised garage door.) When the time comes, I'm fortunate that I can order just a new Lip Spoiler.

waxing is useless.. it just adds protection.. Id have to see the damage to tell you what your options are, but if you can see the base coat underneath then just about the only option is to have it painted.. Compounding as opposed to waxing will make it smooth and get rid of small scratches..
best of luck man..

Hehe well for me, i didnt really look at the tC because my parents said no, but after lookin at the Rabbit, Civic, Corolla, and Matrix, I decided to ask if i could test drive the tC. There were literally only 3 of them their. It was 2 automatic azure pearls and my diamond buried in the rough, with a MT, and a spoiler, was my dream BSP tC.. So really, I had no choice. It was between a Corolla XRS and the tC. My bro took 1 look at the Corolla and just said, ok back to the tC!! My saleslady was even in shock when she saw it. She didnt know it was there but i am in

I gotta ask: why did your parents say no to the tC?
I have a 2006 Civic Si, and the tC is a much more rounded car than any of the non-Si models, and better priced.
Just wonder what their reasons were.
