wtf? why the hell was he reversing for? lmfao someone cant drive?

make his ass pay for it. fuckin n00bs ftl. usually your front end gets hit because you hit someone, not because someone hit you. sorry but that is the most pathetic incident ever.

 

he was backing hes at fault

 

i know it is his fault. but i dont think a cop would even give a shit if its scratched and nobody got hurt or anything. no dents or cracking.

 

Buff it it out....


Polish Buff and Wax

 

this will be a noob question but, should i do it with a porter cable? i never polished before nor do i have a porter cable. but if it gets the job done, i think ill go to a detailing pro and have them do that spot if itll really get that out. do you think it'll make the marks go away entirely?

 

You're gonna need a real aggressive polish to get those out, then finish with a fine polish, And yes use a random orbital porter cable.

And FYI, get some money from that idiot who was infront of you.

 

i will try to get that done. thanks. just hope itll all go away. any way you think I can make it look good as new for around 50 bucks?

and as far as paying back, it was a "friend" and i seriously doubt he'd pay me. =(
cant really do much once he drove off and i drove off after lights turned green cuz people honked. if he wont give me money then theres nothing i can do about it =(

 

friend didnt do on purpose, let it go

try buff it out, no big dent so far, good luck!!

 

fuck that. punch him in the face and take your money

 

:iamwiths: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

 

Mike remember i know where he lives

 

well personal property was damaged fuck it turn it in to insurance leaving clear coat scraped and exposed will eventually flake

 

take it to a bodyshop, get it fixed right so it looks the way it did before you got backed into and give the bill to your friend. Don't try and bandaid fix it, he fucked up and he pays for it. That's just how it is. :thumbsup:

 

I don't even see anything.......I've got same amount of scratches just from driving on freeways......but yeah, you're friend's an idiot - should have kept his foot on the brake, better yet, not put it in reverse at all. Work it out with him.

I'm wondering about the woosh sound, and the seatbelts tightening. Sounds like your pretensioner was set off, though I've never heard it. If it deployed, which it sounds like it did, you should replace it - it's a one time deal, like airbags.

 

Is the pretensioner what makes the seatbelts retract and afer that it doesnt work anymore? how could i check to see if it wasnt deployed or deployed? (i was right behind him at the stop light, there was barely any room for him to hit me hard with, just really backed up and banged into me right away) I been in an before this and i remember after i got hit, the seatbelts never retracted again.

friend wont pay, i already know he wont its for sure.

 

dude that can easily be buffed out. i would do it for you but i live in PA. Go to the car care forum and see if anyone from FL has a pc that is willing to help you out

 

Well, if they won't charge you......but if it's deployed, they will try and sell you another one, I think. I don't think deployed pretensioners, airbags, etc. are covered.

Here's a pic of the undeployed one I still have - maybe you can tell by looking at this picture. I can sell it to you if you want. Sorry, like I said, the driver side one was already deployed.

 

Don't ask your friend for money.

In the future, whenever you want something from him just remind him "remember when you backed into my car?"

He'll pay.... yes.... he'll pay

 

some fuckin friend... anyone did that to me and drove off, id go to his house rip his balls off, keep them in a jar and not give them back until HE payed or physically fixed my car

just throwin that out there...

 

That would be a intresting conversation.

"Hey [insert friends name]"
"Can i see your balls?"

 

buff it out (like people already said). looks pretty doable. have your friend take you out to lunch/dinner a bunch of times to make up for it lol

 

Seats belts are life time warranty

however since there was an accident involved.....they arent

dont tell them anyone hit your car...
play dumb

say..."idk my seatbelt is werid"

yea i hit my boys car on accident one time....i was willing to pay...however long story short...he let someone else drive his car...and they nearly totaled it...so i didnt have to pay hehe

 

When in Rome, huh?!

 

tell em u want a fucking repaint , then hand him the bill and grab his bag

 

:rotfl: i should. i want my entire car in Champion White now hahaha

 

well lets just say its an acquaintance because i dont hang out with them. i know and talk to them whenever we see face to face.

but as for paying, experience and history tends to repeat itself if you know what i mean. so i already know its not gonna happen

people are telling me to buff it. one of my buddies said he has a porter cable and that he'll polish it for me. just wondering if there will be any risk in degrading the paint because of polishing it.

 

^yea thats true....but if he is just an aquaintance, thats more of a reason for u to ask him to pay up...u know?? if a true friend of mine hit my car resulting in minimal damage, i would not accept their offer if they offered to pay for repairs..but somebody u just know?? i mean especially after they did something stupid like that?? and he just drives off without even offering to help you out in some way with repairs?? maybe if he offered to help you out, you could perhaps just let it slide..but he just takes off??...i just think you should try to get yours regardless of what kinda of person this guy is..obviously not a very smart or a very considerate one..

yeah but i think it being under 500 dollars in damage, if i called the cops they wouldnt file an accident report. but what do i do if he refuses to give money? i mean hes gonna say he barely tapped me and that im over reacting probably. thats what you would expect from someone who doesnt wanna pay. even though it is a minor accident

 

Use lacyr thinner on a cloth and wipe over the area, then use a cleaner wax on it with a buffer, after that use buffing compound on the buffer, then wax by hand and then use swirl remover by hand. it will work, i work at a detailing shop.

 

never heard of lacyr thinner, can i find this an auto store? thanks for the tips by the way. :thumbsup:

 

It's nothing, buff it out and you're fine. The seatbelts are the problem here, who's going to pay for those?

 

i had acura check out the seatbelts. i claimed that the seatbelt lights came on (we dont have any) haha. and i said that they feel like they dont lock when i rapidly brake and i feel as if its an issue in safety.

they reported that the seatbelts are fine at the moment and meet acura standards.

 

dude.. are you serious? he's a friend? I mean.. kinda wack he didn't do more than just stare at it.. I wouldn't call him a friend..
