FAPPIN TW*T NEXT DOOR
So, my car returned last week from the bodyshop, full respray, beautiful job.
Neighbour stops me on Monday "That looks beautiful". Thanks I say.
Working away in the office (kitchen actually) and I hear the unmistakeable sound of a pressure washer.....
My neighbour is cleaning his driveway, it is parrallel with mine..he has succesfully blasted the entire drivers side of the car with high pressure water, patio cleaning fluid and about 30 years of ingrained **** and the top layer of his driveway...........................
Just off to set fire to his house

Sorry we have been inspecting the damage......
According to the pressure washer weilding WW2 veteran and his wife, the damage is not too bad, he thinks it'll lift out with some T-Cut......Agreed the damage to my scoob compared to the damage he must have witnessed during the blitz must seem pityfull, but that is not the point.
So far I have remained calm and curteous(sp?) My GF however is seething having difficulty keeping her indoors atm....... oh, hang on he's at the door....

Right...............we (actually he) has removed the dirt and **** from the car with the hose (detached from the PW) damage is not nearly as bad as first anticipated, however the laquer has taken a sever beating along the bottom of the drivers door. He has told me he is very sorry and has asked that I get a quote from someone to get it repaired (no doubt the bodyshop will want to redo the whole side of the car)...... this guy is about 90years old and is living on a crappy pension which he subsidises with a cleaning job.
God ...... I now feel like Dr.Mengele

Hope I can still pressure wash a drive when I'm 90 - although probably some other new fangled surface cleaning machine will have come along by then. Still, wouldn't want to point it at some poor dudes car slash hover-buggy slash whatever they will drive in 70 yrs time.

I feel for you, do try to have the area buffed by a professional first to see if it will lift, I had a sort of similar thing an old lady just nerfed the rear of my Scoob in a traffic jam with her fiesta, it took two small (5p) sized bits of paint off the rear bumper by the number plate, she was very apoligetic and upset, not structural damage was done so i left it.
