Spent a good few hours giving the car a full detailing on Easter Monday- waxed every surface (Swissol). Looked lovely, better than new.

Come out today to see a small parking ding on my flank. Obviously someone has clonked it with a door. Hard.

Sigh .....

Should have left it alone.

Just once I would like to be there when someone does this. Just once.

I feel your pain. Happened to me on first day out in a previously immaculate A5. IIRC cost about £60 for a PDR guy to come to work a do his magic with a strip of LEDs and some thin metal rods. He came up through the rear wheel arch and within 20-30 mins it was gone.

Temporarily ruined the new car feel, but in the end, there was no evidence at all - even to my extreme levels of OCD!

Saw a beautiful silver 15 plate 435 GC yesterday at Chester Zoo with a pair of dings in the rear door - wasn't even my car and I felt sad.

Not good, sorry to hear, similarly I wish I was there when it happened to mine
Spent 2 days machine polishing etc etc etc... as a full detail in advance of a long weekend trip to Norfolk. Made sure as always that I parked far away from other cars and not next to 2 door coupes, those with child seats, MPV's and the rest..... came back to the car and there on the rear 1/4 was a door ding.

What is it with some people!

Some people just don't give a tinkers cuss about their own car and refgard it ax a piece of crap and waste of money to get from ato b

Sadly they don't realise there are people out there for whom it is their pride and joy

Few threads on here about this subject

Feel for you dude.
