First Scratch !
« on: 08 February 2011, 19:49 »
After having Gandor washed in over 3 weeks, I have noticed a scratch on the passenger door behind the driver. Actually, its a little more than a scratch, but the outer lines of the b**ta*r*ds door has left two marks on mine. It seems to have happened in a car-park, but there's nothing I can do, its just one of those things !
I do a lot of motorway miles for work, so purposely selected the colour white, as my previous met grey car has so many visible scratches (visible as white scratches as undercoat was white) so taking into account that inevitably I will have scratches etc, at least a white coloured car might disguise it a little more than, say, a darker colour.
I guess, its just one of those things which none of us will avoid, but reallly annoyed at it as otherwise and after its recent wash my baby looked so good !
