I don't think many people who buy a black car for the first time truly realize how easily they scratch. You learn through experience.

I was just trying to help. Just trying to make you feel a little better and maybe not like a complete fool. If that is going to be your attutude then I'm glad your precious Corolla has the scratches on it and I hope they never come off or that it costs you a crapload of $$$ to get it fixed. Is that the answer that you prefer? Sad!


What is with some people?

Kill the cat and then buff out the scratches by using its corpse as a buffing pad.

I agree with Mathguy on his Step2. Your car will be scratched in the future, get used to it, relax it's Just a car

Take the cat out! If you can't find the one that did it, take out the first one you see. Its just a cat after all.

Sure alot of rude remarks , sad , very sad.
Ur gonna get scratches / dings on any car and no way to prevent it unless u keep in in the garage.

Whats the best for scratches....try 3M HAND GLAZE......do ur whole car with it , u'll love it.

3M HAND GLAZE sells for about $15 a bottle at ur better auto stores.
