Someone Keyed My Box =[

[PSL-Boxster]

so im goanna need to fix this new pinstripe of mine...any pointers on whats the best method? would an electrical buffer be the best route or is there something else.. thanks

It all depends on how deep the scratch is. If it went into the clear coat and not the paint below, it may buff out nicely with a porter cable random orbital polisher and some good stuff on the cutting pad such as Menzerna intensive polish.

If it went into the paint, it's still worth a try.

If the lousy, good for nothing, jealous piece of crap keyed right through the clear coat and the paint and you see metal, well, you'd better go to a body shop for a repaint.

Sorry, there's just no silver lining in this cloud.

THAT sucks, hopefully it aint that deep and will buff right out.

I sometimes think we live in a third world country, when people who work hard for nice toys are constantly battered by the good for nothing, low life who do things like this and do not lose a minute of sleep.

Hope it buffs out. I've been there, I had to repaint... which turned out better looking than original.

I hate people who do this, it has happened to me as well. The first weekend I bought mine and took it out at night it happened. I had to take to the body shop, sorry!

[gmboxster]

I agree MAX, people work hard to earn nice things and low life punks vandalize it with no remorse whatsoever. They should be hung by their balls. Hope that's not too harsh for ya. Thats why I'm very careful where i drive my car, especially at night.

Sorry to hear the news. It happened to me as well last year and I am still driving around wiht light scratches on the clearcoat. It's not that deep but I am also afraid to do any major polishing to it. One day I will scrape up the courage and tackle it though. Not only did the lowlife key the car they also sapt some gum on to my mats which melted in the sun.

Max,
I agree. I cannot believe how much people treat you differently b/c of your car. Immediately thinking you are a pompous a$$ or arrogant b@stard. It sucks.
I guess we need to put more ricer stickers on our ride and look younger and less conservative.

BTW,
You need to upgrade your sig picture to include your 996....
Did you get your box repainted somewhere on the Northshore?
Thanks...

I have lived/traveled in many 3rd world countries and keying some one's car is something that happens MUCH more in 1st world countries. Where I live now, the rich and the poor just like to come up and take photos if it or compliment it. No one has ever said one hostile word to me about it except a couple loser Americas who could not afford it anyway. Of course, damaging something this valuable here would result in a serious, serious beating if the guy was lucking enough not to key the wrong persons car.

That Blows man. I'm a 25 year old that bought a Brand New 08 Boxster S, and boy I get nasty looks because people think I got it from Mommy and Daddy.

I'm paranoid about people screwing with my car. You might consider getting paint protection film. Cheap compared to a paint job.

I have always wanted to travel to a second world country but can't find any on the map?"?????

I want to move somewhere that my money goes further and the sun shines and the waters ripple. Is this an appropriate query to a thread titled 'Someone keyed my car'?

The only real second world country remaining is Cuba and I have been there MANY times. I guess Chavez is trying to make Venezuala into one but he will be shot soon.

No one will scratch your car in Cuba either since the cars are so old no one would notice a scratch.
