andywrx Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Exactly a week after picking up my Z and having it Paintshield'ed, I was at my sisters when we heard a a bang as her cat had jumped on my bonnet and slid off into the garage door! Unfortunately he tried to cling on and left a few little scratches and a couple of plucks in the Paintshield. I assume this is because the Paintshield was new had not yet fully hardened. Any way my paintwork was fine. I rang Tom for advise on what to do. After he stopped laughing he was very helpful. He told me to get some rubbing alcohol and soak some kitchen paper in it and leave it on the scratches for minute or two. Then add some more alcohol and rub it in. Doing this removed all the little scratches an all the raised bits from the plucks, leaving just a little nick right at the edge of the film. I'm sure if I drink the rest of the alcohol I won't even notice that So Paintshield saved my paintwork and probably the cat's life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathys Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Fell out with my last neighbours for spraying their cat with a hose for sitting on my bonnet I thought of that, but it'll probably cause even more scratches as it gets angry and releases it nails into the paint!

Paintshield Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 If you do suffer from this then when you bring the car to us to be done we could do a panel for the roof to help prevent this. Just let us know before you arrive Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
