CaptainSensible Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Sounds like his car will be looking reverse-sparkles before too long. Maybe buy him some new cleaning products for Xmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilMH Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'm sure he means well. It could have been a lot worse - it could have been paint! Marker (even permanent) will probably come off with something like Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover. Maybe you need to get your Dad an alternative plaything?

charlotte-sparkles Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 nah he has my mums Nissan Primera now she has her Z, but goddddddd! he always fusses about the cars and it winds me up so much, I have told him not to touch anything on it again, but he never listens - old codger LOL @ SwanageDave - thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Muddy wellies I get, but black marker to touch up bits on black trim is a pretty good idea. That's what I've used to colour in black wheels after they've been kerbed but before I can get to do a proper refurb on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 black marker is not wrong, like ekona i've use dit on black wheels. and it can often be more subtle than touch up paint which leaves high points if done badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will370z Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Lol he should be banned from the car. My parents know I'm really fussy with mine and don't like to go anywhere near it incase they scratch it. Mine you that's fine with my, a few years ago dad parked behind my car in the drive and didn't put the handbrake on. It's a steep drive and overnight his celica rolled into my car and pushed it into the garage doors. Not happy I could tell you. Then last year I got my own back unintentionally. I bought a nice 3 year old Saab convertible and was reversing up the drive. Unfortunately I stalled, panicked, hit the wrong pedals, missed the brake and rolled the car right through a huge flower box and half way through their living wall. Saab was indestructible, only a few paint scratches and no panels out. Wall didn't come off so well and had to be rebuilt.....opps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
