Z Boy Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Only been about 2 weeks since I've had the Zed and some pikey has finally keyed it while it's been on my driveway. Tried polishing it out but it hasn't made much difference really. Going to try and see if my detailer can do any better. Fingers crossed. Seriously can't wait to move house next week to somewhere not so crap! Quote
lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 unlucky m8.....hopefully u'll find the little ar*e hole around and do what he did to your car to his face....been there myself... hopefully its not to bad... -ho Quote
Z Boy Posted August 24, 2008 Author Posted August 24, 2008 There's plenty of the little shits around here so I don't really have a hope in hell of finding the one that did it. Even bought a decent car cover the other day but haven't had a chance to put it on yet due to all the rain and it not being dry enough to put it on (gotta put it on a dry car apparently) so that's just typical really!

lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 well u just gotta suck it up unfortunately...my last car got keyed on 5 panels and 2 tyres slashed......these things happen... but keep listening out... ull find him.. -ho Quote
marzman Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Really gutted for you mate. I hate this sh1t. I cant say on here what i'd do to someone if i caught them messing with my car - it might incriminate me at a later date!! ...but i'd be at the bottom of me drive Sorry pal. Quote
Z Boy Posted August 24, 2008 Author Posted August 24, 2008 I know what you mean, I hope I don't actually catch them in the act or I'll probably end up in prison lol. Quote
Digsy Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Feel for you mate - had both of my Zeds done. F@ckers! Quote
jordan3054 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Sorry to hear about that Z Boy. I echo whats already been said, and unfortunately, sadly, sometimes theres no way to avoid these things. Hope the scratch vanishes with some handy detailing work Quote
bronzee Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Aaw, that really sux!! When I got my Z over 4 years ago, I'd only had it for 1.5 weeks, and some little delight keyed it, happened quite a few times since. The trick I've found is careful use of swirl remover, leave it to cure (as per directions whatever brand you are using), then do another layer, same again. Then once all done, put a couple of layers of wax over, obviously letting each layer cure properly, using good microfibre cloths. This process has hidden all bar the worst key mark (very deep). Won't do a respray until it's not a DD anymore. Also used this process on a number of black beasties I've groomed, worked really well. Have a bash at that anyway, let us know how you get on. Quote
Ebized Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I know what you mean, I hope I don't actually catch them in the act or I'll probably end up in prison lol. Or worse...... I am afraid these days for "keyed" take that as likely to be "knifed". Gutted for you ZBoy so soon after geting the car but make sure the same dosen't happen to you - maybe a cctv camera trained on your drive may deter, or at least make the scroats move on somewhere else. Lets face it that sort of low-life take the easy option of doing their 'thing' Quote
H5 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 :rant::rant: Dirty, pikey, useless little runts. Sorry to hear it, get that CCTV camera..... Quote
Stew Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Absolutely gutted dude. If I was you I'd get those keys out and do loads of windmilling! You're bound to get the culprit sooner or later! Quote

RobD7 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 So gutted for you, you had only said last week about being worried... Why oh why do people begrudge people owning something decent if they've worked hard for it... What's worse is even if you could catch them, the police would give them 2 hours community service for which they wouldn't turn up for... But then that's why kids behave the way they do because there are no consequences. Good idea moving soon Quote
GIXXERUK Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Forget it and move on, not easy i know but its for the best... trust me Quote
Z Boy Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 Thanks guys, feeling better today, was raging so bad when I saw it. Rob - yeah, I kind of knew it'd happen, just want to move ASAP so it doesn't happen again! Quote
Jay Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Really sorry to hear this mate! I hope u get the wee bast*** that did it! Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Very sorry to hear this. I really feel for you. Quote
RobD7 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Just thinking about this, make sure you report it to the police. They'll never catch the person but adds to their stats another unsolved crime and highlights scumbags being rife in the community. They'd prefer you didn't report it because they're very unlikely to solve but I always would. Especially as when you watch the news and they talk about types of crime reducing, too often I think no, people just don't bother reporting as much as they know it won't be solved... Which is definitely not how it should be... Quote
M13KYF Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 sorry to hear the news it could of been worse, saw a golf the other day where someone had keyed there name completely down one side of the car It was very visible from 40 ft away so the cut must of been deep and wide Quote
Beavis Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 sorry to hear the news it could of been worse, saw a golf the other day where someone had keyed there name completely down one side of the car It was very visible from 40 ft away so the cut must of been deep and wide Any one caught doing this should be dipped in flesh stripping acid And i am not joking Quote
mwalker56 Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Any one caught doing this should be dipped in flesh stripping acid I agree! Mine was keyed a few months ago in a Halfords car park, think it was the boys in the Corsa or perhaps the Saxo VTi with 18inch rims.... So frustrating. Quote
