Despite all the care I give to my car.. Still gets scratched/chipped!

Ganun talaga pag ginagamit sa Pilipinas. If all people were as mindful of other people's property as you, these accidental scratches wouldn't happen. I consider myself on the careful side as well. Still doesn't prevent motorcycle brake levers, umbrella tips, watches, bracelets, handbags, etc from scratching it. Natalsikan pa nga yun ng ready mix cement from 20+ stories up when I was passing by while this Putzmeister was pumping it up. It sure seems like the scratches came out of nowhere but it probably happened while you weren't looking or while you were away from the car. Wala kasing concept ng personal space at respect for the other guy's property ang karamihan ng mga Pinoy. Pindutin mo yung panic button pag may sumandal hehe.

Ginagawa ko rin yan if I see somebody leaning against my car. I feel sorry lalo na dun sa sasandal sa hood, sasakit lang tenga nila.

di kasi maiiwasan yan.. kahit anong ingat mo.. mag pa park at mag pa park ka pa din na may katabi.. at merong mga tao talagang walang paki alam.. kung magbukas nang pinto eh todo todo.. lalo na pag mga kids ang sakay.. kamot ulo ka na lang..

Pumunta kami ng market market last October 31. After I parked, chineck ko pa yung clearance ng doors kung okay lang at baka mahirapan magaccess ang katabi namin or magkagasgasan kami. Pagbalik namin after maggala, may gasgas na ung unahan passenger door. Hindi naman malalim, kapag malapit ka lang makikita mo talaga. Pero dalawa sya and at least 5 inches long. Before pa ako magngitngit inunahan na ako ng misis ko, "hayaan mo na, ganyan talaga pag sa parking". So ayun dinedma ko na lang si gasgas. Hindi naman makapamili ng parking at punuan ang parking during that time. Just shows ikaw na nga ang conscious na hindi ka makasagabal sa katabi mo at hindi makadamage ng sasakyan ng iba, ikaw pa rin ang madadale sa huli. Ngak ngak. Hehehe.

hmmm siguro nga sa parking nakuha ng jazz namin yung gasgas niya sa may right door.

We share the same frustrations, TS. Lalo na't black yung tsikot ko. But I guess we just gotta learn to take things in stride.

I like two things... detailing and driving. They don't exactly go hand in hand. hehe.

our mazda2's hood is a testament to that - hindi ko na mabilang ang stone chips dahil sa kakafunrun at kakaharurot.

kaya tamang OC lang... kasi kung masyado ka OC masisiraan ka ng bait with every ding, scratch, and chip sa kotse mo...

Oo nga noh? Tamang OC lang, like the title of your detailing tips.

^^ yup!

kelangan ng pasensya... while it's tempting to correct every single scratch or ding from the onset, you'd be killing your clearcoat (and wallet) if you do that..

kaya iniipon muna para isang detailing or PDR session nalang

medyo mahirap lang talaga yung first few days kasi kating kati ka talagang ayusin yung defect
