    Ever have a scratch and no clue where it occured.....

    For us Autopian`s who wash their cars weekly or bi-weekly and know what`s on their panels from a microscopic POV

    A decade ago or so, wifey parked the car, grabbed coffee, less than 7 minutes later, someone decided to key the hood and front fender panel....that`s the only one I can blatantly remember.

    Fast forward for myself this weekend/week. Torn CV boot. Was not@home so opted to have local indy replace axle.
    I don`t recall seeing scratches but it was raining and lotsa grime on the panels. And the damage was on the front passenger door which I did not inspect on a 360 walkaround. That was tuesday.

    I did bring the car to the parking lot 2X before this weekends wash

    @##$@. No clue where it came from. I can`t recall seeing it when the Indy pulled the car out of the garage.
    I def. did not check the passenger side panel when it left the parking lot. But uggh...got some serious vertical scratches that may buff out 7/10. Too p1ssed off to inspect it further. Don`t spot a visual deep dent but I do spy a dent..

    Going outside to pound on some sand now

    My handyman had the side of his truck lightly dented and scratched recently at work. No one would admit to causing it

    I can`t do anything about the dent but I can improve the scratch. It`s long but it`s not deep fortunately.
    Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.

    I had someone back into my truck and I`m not certain where or when it occurred.

    How about this one for a head scratcher? When I got on the step stool to wash my CX-5 roof, I noticed a handful of scratches there. WTH?!?
