i had a respray in January and then the car got keyed a couple of weeks later. then noticed that the back of the car was coloured in rust type spots. i could only assume that something was wrong with the paint. i took it back to the garage to have a hissy fit and got the bad news.....

i was told that it looked like tiny particles of hot metal had landed on my car. i had a think and realised that it was an angle grinder that had been used next to my car. the particles had rusted and started to eat the paintwork

 

You let someone use a grinder near your car
That ain't bad luck SS

 

my god woman what are you like

 

That aint bad luck, that's feckin stupid

 

silly bint

Na bad luck really

 

I thought it was Swiss Tony ?

 

Bad luck.

 

Surely the garage will provide adequate recompense.

 

Jesus, you sound like me!
Not been the luckiest person recently lol

 

Maz, it happened outside my house

i have given up on looking after my car, i tore the front bumper on a small bush in my drive just after it got keyed

so tomorrow i will be picking bits of metal out of the paintwork. i have been told to use rubbing compound. i think the smaller bits will be ok, its just the big bits i'm not so sure about

just to give you an idea how bad it is...the boot and rear bumper have thousands of metal particles attached to my car into

but i am still smiling

 

Eek! It's just another chapter in your anthology of calamitous capers, still smiling though.

 

i dropped my phone in a puddle at the garage as well

 

bad luck sara......just stand in front of your bumper with your bumpers out and noone will notice your bumper HTH

You are definitely Snet's equivavelent of Susan Mayer.

 

who did the grinding ? get them to pay for the fix

Rather than DIY and risk fscking it up, thought of ringing a valet/detailing firm?
Might be worth a couple hundred to sort it out and bring out the magnificence.

Hi Sara,

Thats not good - the same happend to my car and its white! I used a Meguirs clay bar to lift the lumps of metal out then polished it back up, just need to be careful that you don't fill the clay then rub it on the paint and scratch it.

Good luck.

Chris

i took my box of used flower pots out of the boot and put them on the back seat so i could put my shopping away. not long been valeted

I know i should'nt but pmsl

They have even left funny yellow patches on the seats as well

Sorry for your bad luck....... isn't there a song ?? "Things can only get better"

Hope they do for you

 

i broke the record

 

My clio had lots of rust spots like you describe all over the rear hatch. It had never been anywhere near a grinder, it turned out to be brake dust!!!!
Yes i drove it like a hooligan.
