****, that sucks. I'm always hella scared of parking my car somewhere where there's all these kids running around, especially the mall. How bad is it? the dealer just sent be a bottle of touch up paint to match your car in the mail. I guess it's supposed to come with the car, anyways good luck with it.

ok, I shrank my signature. It's not as small as yours, but it's about the same size as brothervoodoo's. I didn't recall seeing the rules of the signature anywhere, but I have changed my signature twice at your request.

PS. do you own a rx-8? I only saw a miata in your homepage?

It's not a deep scratch, so I think I'll just wait for the touch up paint. It's about 15 inches long, directly above the right wheel. I was outside of the Circuit City at the time.

You see the characters that work at that Circuit City, I give 3 to 1 odds it was a 2f2f employee...

You should first take it to someone that has a motorized buffer and then try some meguires scratch remover. Then maybe a couple coats of polish wax... I don't think using touch-up paint over a 15 inch scratch will do the trick. Again, sorry for your predicament.

Try Dent Pro, or some similar type repair service. Lexus uses them at their dealership and I've had excellent results with them. They do paint as well and you cannot tell.
