Default Car vandalized today...

Spring break started today. Guess the kids had nothing better to do they they did this to my car, 2 other cars and the school across the street.



Going to try a few things to clean it off. We'll see how it goes.

Normally in this forum I'd want to see a pic, but not excited to see this result.
Hope the damage isn't too bad.

I had this happen before where I was the only one who could see the pic I linked. I don't know why. I'm trying to upload it directly to CF now and it says that its uploaded successfully and then it doesn't show in my album I don't know why.... but someone took a can of black spray paint to my MY Z06.

It would be a bad day for anyone I caught doing some crap like that to anything or anyone's property, I can't stand this kind of crap.
Good luck with getting it in order.

I'm so sorry about your car

Seeing stuff like this makes me want to keep my insurance deductibles as low as possible because there are just bad people in the world

Sorry to hear about your car. I know if you did something like that to their property they'd go balistic. Hope they get caught.

Check around with some paint and detail shops. There may be a quick solution that doesn't involve sanding the clearcoat / paint. I've heard of people using oven cleaner to remove painted on pinstriping from motorcycles. (never tried it so cannot attest to it) I'm sure details shops have some kind of "trick" up their sleeve for just that problem.

Good luck
