I parked my car near a fire hydrant--apparently too close (10ft vs 15ft...no painted curb...I`ll gladly pay the ticket...but what I walked up to was agrivating).
The NYPD tow truck was trying to wedge my door open with a rubber wedge, while trying to hook the handle so they could release my parking brake and tow my AWD car with only two wheels supported. He did not use any sleeve or anything to protect the paint as he very unsuccessfully tried to get the door unlocked, and this damage ensued.

When I walked up, he said that the only reason it wasn`t gone already was because of the brake and because he would be blocking traffic. (so instead he was actually parked in front of the hydrant) I was pissed and he ran off into his little truck and sped away.
So what do I do? Touch up paint? Application recommendations? It`s a brand new car so to say that I am pissed is an understatement. I`m just glad I walked up before he hand a chance to screw things up even more.
