I was washing some of the road salt/dirt off my car today and I noticed that there is a slight scrath (about 3") on the bumper. Some waste of life POS probably hit it while trying to parallel park. I hate %#^&ers like that!

end of rant.

 

Aw Q-ball that sucks. The last two major scratches on my car were done, accidentally of course, by my boyfriend. Fortunately it's not a Audi yet. But still!

Don't suppose Audi manufacturers a "Miracle Scratch Eliminator" made especially for such pretty cars?

 

If you can match the paint colour correctly then you should be able to fix this up pretty well. Of course if you would be worried about doing a perfect job then take it to a dealer-but it's not so hard to take care of.

 

I would be a little ticked too - can it be buffed out? I was just informed that someone broke into my garage yesterday afternoon.......guess I better check out my TT too. That sounds like the start of a new country song......TT too.....hmmm cute ring to it.

 

The same thing happened to me - it was the perfect end to a crappy day!

I called Audi and ordered touch up paint. For about $14 they sell you the exact paint color and a clear top coat. From far away, the scratch disappears, but you can still see it up close. I didn't do the best job covering it up, but I wasn't about to go and pay $100 or more for someone to fix it for me.

 

try to buff it out... if that doesnt work backfill with touch up paint, dry and buff...

 

Yeah, I got the paint from the dealership. Just have to wait till it gets a bit warmer out so it works.

 

Talking about being pissed off: I live and work in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
A year ago I bought this cherry 2002 A4 1.8TQ from someone in Kingston.
The first 3 months it has gotten dings, and scratches and I even had a bull's eye on the windshield.

WORST: 2 weeks ago this woman in a 2007 325i hits me from behind at a left turn! Her reason: I could have break for you, but you were not supposed to be there... and now I have to do the insurance cha-cha!

I think this qualifies for "being pissed off".

 

bulls eye on the windshield??

 

BULL'S EYE on the windshield: as in a construction bound truck which has not been cleaned properly before entering the public roads throwing a rock that hits the windshield of a car travelling at highway speeds and cracks it in the fashion of a target symbol... if it is your car it is a ****-off and a $50-$60 repair if you are lucky!
It can be more of a ****-off if you have bad Karma (not Ghia)!
Don't you agree?
