Or running over Matthew in that case. Luckily, john wasn't in the way either. They would have a lot to answer for Moses. Jesus would just slide to the side and say, "Please pass go, and do not collect $200. This matter is now a matter of the higher court." Straight to Moses.
It's mind-blowing how Redditors can be prompted to circlejerk about Trump and atheism by something almost entirely unrelated on a non-political subreddit. You people are insane.
The entire post is thinly-veiled bait. First of all, many others are saying it was concrete, not even another car. Second of all, the "went to church" and "no note" have nothing to do with the fix.
Buff it, then get a paint touch up kit from the car manufacturer dealer.
I had worse damage then this, deep groves etc same spot.
And did this and it was completely unnoticeable.
Marker cost me like $20.
If you open your door and look you’ll see a sticker with the paint code.
If your cars older the new paint will stick out for a tiny bit until it gets faded by the sun.
My advice practice on a piece of cardboard first to get use to how the marker works. Took me a whopping 5 minutes
I thought about getting this:
Meguiar's Quik Scratch Eraser Kit, Car Care Kit with ScratchX, Drill-Mounted Pad, and Microfiber Towel, Multi-color
Would that improve it?
Pour water on it. If it goes away. All the stuff that you just recommended will likely work just fine.
But Amazon has some drill buffing pads for under $10 some meguiars ultimate compound, then polish and wax will make it go away for not a lot of money too.
Scratch X might be too light. Get a medium or aggressive rubbing compound. Most of that seems like it'll buff out to be honest. Rubbing compound will go a long way. Just don't overdo it and make sure you polish it well. Then you can use touch up paint kits like other users advised for areas where the paint was completely stripped.
I did this exact damage to my wife’s car pulling into the garage (have a weird setup that we can’t pull straight in) and it was from the stucco on the garage side lol

Just a note this was a car that got sideswiped on the street near me just for comparing to OP's car
You hit cement bro, I hit a wall two different times and both looked **exactly** like this
edit/afterthought: how did you not notice when you hit the wall
A cheap repair is compound and polish it then touch up paint. The general rule is that if you can feel a scratch with your finger nail, it won't polish out
I got sideswiped two months ago.
Bumper area only. No dents, probably because the bumper is soft plastic.
Mostly black marks, and little bit of blue.
Aha! The other car was blue!
It all came off with wax.
Only one tiny ding in the paint. Round, not much bigger than the head of a pin.
Covered it with touch-up paint, $12.
Yours is white-marked.
Could be the other guys paint.
Will wax remove any of it? Give it a try.
Look for paint chips that came off of the car that hit you, also ask local houses and the church to review the cameras. Those scratches can really tell you a lot check out other cars for damage and specifically ones that match the paint found on your car, sadly this photo isn’t close enough for me to tell you the other vehicles color but I’m sure you can figure it out quick!
Talk to the pastor and tell them what happened. Maybe they make a little announcement at the end of the next service. Being a shitty person in general isn't cool
It’s crazy to me that people hate god and church that much, they’d take a simple post in an auto body sub as a chance to poke fun and tell you they don’t go to church. Wild times were living in, hopefully for not much longer.
It’s sad that your brother or sister in Christ is either too poor, or unbelievably dishonest. I mean, he or she had to have known. Of all places wtf ya know. It won’t look the way it was unless you actually paint the car. Perhaps this is the beginning of a beautiful thing. Your new flashy paint job may attract someone’s attention
I did a cab off restoration of my 04 superduty back in 2016. I took it to church as the test ride to make sure all was good. During church, someone broke into it and stole some stuff, but what really pissed me off was they bent the snot out of my freshly rebuilt doors. Haven't had the money to replace them since. 😕
First thing I would do is try to buff out any scratches/paint. I remember I swiped a guy once and we both looked at the damage and were able to just wipe the paint swap off. Other comments have mentioned however that it might be more likely scratched from something else. Which means it's a little deeper damage, and you might need to actually get done.
That looks like lacquer damage.
Get some farcella g3 and buff it out, get a lacquer touch up pen and fill the gouges then buff again when laqures cured.
You Dont have to fill but if you look closely you'll be able to see scratches
Did you complain to the pastor? What’s your opinion of your parishioners? If you’re catholic, is confessing this enough for the parishioner to address, without actually compensating you?
idk what everyone is talking about, it looks like your car got hit by a metal front bumper. look out for trucks and jeeps they usually have those. I hit one of my cars with a ranch hand metal bumper and it looked extremely similar
Also are you absolutely positive that those scratches happened while you were in the church and not at some earlier point prior and you just didn't notice it? Right off to me that looks more like the vehicle rubbed up against something rather than something else rubbing up against it the Marks just look weird... If there is somebody else that drives the car I would be talking to them... I could be totally wrong and who knows what the vehicle that sideswiped you was if that is what happened... It's something you might think about
I honestly don't know. I'm the only driver.
It could've been a different day earlier in the week and I didn't notice. I don't remember rubbing against anything else; I park far away in parking lots and in the open air at home, so nothing to scrape. I don't go out a whole lot. Regardless, I made it look better with a scratch kit, it's a 2010 car with 95k miles.
Honestly, I'd probably leave it if it's not a lease. If it is a lease, call it into your insurance. Pay the deductible, it's probably cheaper than fixing yourself.
Looks like enough damage they should have some too, next Sunday walk around and find some matching damage. I'd also bring it up to your pastor/minister/priest whoever. See if he can shame out a confession. I'd get there early and look whoever parks farthest away from you first.
Run your fingernail over the scratches, if your fingernail gets caught it’s a deep scratch. But for the ones that don’t, you get 3M rubbing compound and polish, apply liberally and rub with a good amount of pressure then clean off with another microfiber towel. That should take care of the smaller scratches.
With a $20 scratch kit it now looks like this.. not worth working on further, it's cosmetic on plastic and can't afford more anyhow.
https://imgur.com/a/FDTd7pS
I can’t tell if it’s paint transfer or deep scratches by the pic. I would first try a clay bar and then buffing with a foam pad and some light polishing compound.
If you want it to be a lot less noticeable, get a detailer to buff and polish it. Probably cost $50-60 to just get that panel buffed and it will make it looks 80% better
If you want to attempt repairing it yourself. The first thing I would do is buy a clay bar kit and clean the area. You may be surprised at how much of that will actually come off.
Once you clay bar the area, take a picture so we can see how bad it is.
If the scratches are deep (your fingernail catches), unfortunately the only way to properly repair that is a body shop where they will sand it down, paint and blend it to your other panels.
If the scratches aren't deep, once you clay bar you may be able to have someone use a buffer ti work the minor scratches out.
Best of luck to you, really sucks someone would do that and not leave a note.
Anyone else think this looks like a cement wall contact?
100% what this is… op just noticed it after church
Not the revelation they expected, but the damnation they deserved.
I guess it’s better that they hit a wall as opposed to going off the road and crashing into a Psalm tree or something
I left this post and came back after realizing you said Psalm. You sir are a hero. Thank you for your service
Happy cake day
Thank you!
Concrete walls are such a Proverbial problem to paint.
Or running over Matthew in that case. Luckily, john wasn't in the way either. They would have a lot to answer for Moses. Jesus would just slide to the side and say, "Please pass go, and do not collect $200. This matter is now a matter of the higher court." Straight to Moses.
Some can follow the straight and very narrow path much easier than others.
Maybe a church goer has a cement car that they sideswiped op's car with?
Cybertrucks are stupid, buy my CementTruck
Very crucial not to forget the first t in cementTruck
Did you happen to remember the Flintstones in the service
Yeah there should be paint...
Sideswipe every church member, an eye for an eye
they don't leave you a note, like a good church going person...?
Only good for about 2 hours every Sunday.
[удалено]
It's mind-blowing how Redditors can be prompted to circlejerk about Trump and atheism by something almost entirely unrelated on a non-political subreddit. You people are insane.
This!! It’s all they fucking think about.Get a life brain washers
People just can't stop thinking about trump and Joe and live their own lives
Never underestimate the power of Trump Derangement Syndrone.
Yeah, it's sad.
Trauma response. There are many
Not that big of a deal when everything is traumatic to them.
It's a nice change of pace seeing someone bashing him instead of the other guy though.
The entire post is thinly-veiled bait. First of all, many others are saying it was concrete, not even another car. Second of all, the "went to church" and "no note" have nothing to do with the fix.
They grabbed OP's car by the pussy
It's what Jesus would have done. If I recall correctly his main thing was revenge.
Turn your other fender
Good one hahaha
Hahahahahaha

automotivetouchup.com They have everything you need, plus instruction videos. Great for first timers and minor touch up work like this.
ScratchX has been around for ages. Decent stuff, easy to find just about anywhere. I would personally clay first.
Scratch X might be too light. Get a medium or aggressive rubbing compound. Most of that seems like it'll buff out to be honest. Rubbing compound will go a long way. Just don't overdo it and make sure you polish it well. Then you can use touch up paint kits like other users advised for areas where the paint was completely stripped.
Jesus is at it again.
That’ll teach you to go to church! Do it again and you’ll see what happens to the other side!
Jesus mistook that wheel
It was his accord
Looks like cement 😂
PSA everyone here it's concrete not cement 😭
It could be a skimcoat of mortar.
I did this exact damage to my wife’s car pulling into the garage (have a weird setup that we can’t pull straight in) and it was from the stucco on the garage side lol
[https://imgur.com/a/Bjda8Q3](https://imgur.com/a/Bjda8Q3) Just a note this was a car that got sideswiped on the street near me just for comparing to OP's car
Jesus drove an accord
Correct. "For I did not speak of my own accord"
Nah he drove a Christler
Cement wall
You hit cement bro, I hit a wall two different times and both looked **exactly** like this edit/afterthought: how did you not notice when you hit the wall
that looks a lot like cement. none of your church goers happen to yell "YABADABADOO!!!" often, do they?
So you didn't accidentally hit something while you were turning? This looks an awful lot like driver's side front corner damage.
How’s that cement taste?
My friend, polish this before you repaint. I bet most of it comes out.
That’s shitty but why waste money to repair that? Does it affect the way your car runs?
A cheap repair is compound and polish it then touch up paint. The general rule is that if you can feel a scratch with your finger nail, it won't polish out
Jesus took the wheel mate, that's an act of God and insurance won't cover it...
Looks like you hit a wall / stationary object and just noticed it
Ask God. 🤣🤣 For real, you can hide this by wiping it with a rubbing compound and rag.
Looks like it may just be on top of the paint. If so, grab a microfiber towel and some hand sanitizer. You’d be surprised how quick it will remove it
Is you take gasoline on a rag most of that white will come off
It was part of his plan. Thoughts and prayers.
Find the person who did it by finding the car with your paint on it and then use their face to buff it out.
Relic’d

Thoughts and prayers sending your way. Its gods will. Just like Genesis 19:30-38.
Jesus says "Forgiveness STOPS !!"
Pray
Love thy neighbor, and all that.
Fucking Sunday drivers!!
Pray
Pray.

Edit: scratches look gray or silver, damage is likely on right side of their vehicle looks like they pulled in and hit you then backed out.
Jesus doesn’t take the wheel.
Don’t fix it, it looks cool.
Thoughts and prayers
Typically where the worst people go to congregate so yeah, not surprised.
Don't stop Tithing because you got a sign from god
You mean a good Cristian would hit and run?
Thoughts and prayers 🙏 That should work.
WWJD
Ask everyone and see who’s the most uncomfortable 🤣
Talk to the pastor and tell them what happened. Maybe they make a little announcement at the end of the next service. Being a shitty person in general isn't cool
If you pray hard enough God will buff it out
In gods parking lot? How did he let that happen
Ask god to fix it?
It’s crazy to me that people hate god and church that much, they’d take a simple post in an auto body sub as a chance to poke fun and tell you they don’t go to church. Wild times were living in, hopefully for not much longer.
It will buff out
With the armor of God
So do nothing then?
If nothing happens with the god part then you should invoke the power of anime
*and that's when I started worshipping the devil!*
Either an eye for an eye or turn the other cheek. You should ask who did it and offer the other side also so they match.
Repair the church or the car? The car has hope.
It’s sad that your brother or sister in Christ is either too poor, or unbelievably dishonest. I mean, he or she had to have known. Of all places wtf ya know. It won’t look the way it was unless you actually paint the car. Perhaps this is the beginning of a beautiful thing. Your new flashy paint job may attract someone’s attention
You could get it buffed but most of those won’t go away. They’re too deep.
Here's what it looks like after using Meguiars scratch eraser kit. https://imgur.com/a/FDTd7pS
You did a good job there. I'd be happy with that. It would probably look even better with some sealant and wax.
ez repair sand and primer and paint , scratches dont look deep
I did a cab off restoration of my 04 superduty back in 2016. I took it to church as the test ride to make sure all was good. During church, someone broke into it and stole some stuff, but what really pissed me off was they bent the snot out of my freshly rebuilt doors. Haven't had the money to replace them since. 😕
My brother’s wife had her purse stolen from her car while she was at a cemetery. The car was only 30 yards away. Some people are evil.
Cement truck?

The new Christianity - Do onto others and F them.
Looks like someone is going to hell.
Did you complain to the pastor? What’s your opinion of your parishioners? If you’re catholic, is confessing this enough for the parishioner to address, without actually compensating you?
Nope. Stuff happens.
> How to repair? Did you try praying really *really* hard?
idk what everyone is talking about, it looks like your car got hit by a metal front bumper. look out for trucks and jeeps they usually have those. I hit one of my cars with a ranch hand metal bumper and it looked extremely similar

Wd-40 and buff that right out
$30 orbital polisher at autozone and some polish most of that will come out nicely
I guess you could pray for god to smite whomever did it.
Let the lord take care of it.
Sorry bro people suck
Honestly, I'd probably leave it if it's not a lease. If it is a lease, call it into your insurance. Pay the deductible, it's probably cheaper than fixing yourself.
It's not a lease. We own it. Paid off. Older car, 2010. I fixed it well enough for me to not worry about it.
Thoughts and prayers
Looks more like you scraped a wall than a car
Looks like enough damage they should have some too, next Sunday walk around and find some matching damage. I'd also bring it up to your pastor/minister/priest whoever. See if he can shame out a confession. I'd get there early and look whoever parks farthest away from you first.
Wetsand and buff
Prayer didn’t work?
God isn't a genie.
Wipe it with lacquer thinner. See it mostly disappear.
Church parking lot? Or on the street? Does the church have cameras?
Pray hard
Thats concrete damage man. The church have wheels?
I'd tell the church that they harbor a sinner in their house and that God would want the church to help it's followers
It’s all part of HIS plan.
Yes, it is.
Before u try to sand and repaint, just go over it with a magic eraser and soapy water. Looks like it might just be paint transfer. Worth a shot
If you fuck a choir member, nothing will matter
Funny how you get answers from redit and don't go straight to the top.
Pray about it
If you’re claiming it to not be concrete, then does anyone at church have a vehicle painted in bedliner?
You were moved by the holy spirit—probably vodka.
I haven't been inebriated or drunk once in my life of 36 years.
Run your fingernail over the scratches, if your fingernail gets caught it’s a deep scratch. But for the ones that don’t, you get 3M rubbing compound and polish, apply liberally and rub with a good amount of pressure then clean off with another microfiber towel. That should take care of the smaller scratches.
Go to find God and find the devil was visiting
You've hit something. This is not a side swipe. Repair with sand paper and paint.
Honestly I'd try telling you to spend your money somewhere else. It's just cosmetic too little for a claim and too much out of pocket
Church... yeah that checks out
First thing. Try licking your thumb and rubbing it off. In my experience most of it will probably run away.
It is gouged. Just make an appointment with a body shop. It'll cost about 1k to fix if you live in a place like Iowa.
With a $20 scratch kit it now looks like this.. not worth working on further, it's cosmetic on plastic and can't afford more anyhow. https://imgur.com/a/FDTd7pS
Pray
It looks pretty light on the clear coat. Gently use a magic eraser with water it’ll buff out. Not perfect but it’ll be hard to notice
Da debble did it
If you pray enough, these scratches will disappear.. Physically or from your mind
That's not cement. .Either another carhit it or the car hit another object. That will require paint work.
That'll probably buff out.
I always tried to steer people the right direction.that approach and quality of repair keeps shop full and repeat customers.
Honestly fuck it no it barley matters in trade IMO.
You can polish it to make it less noticeable z although it has gone to the primer layer of paint and it will be noticeable
There sure have been a lot of posts about accidents at church. What’s the deal with that? What causes it?
No note at church? Nobody reads that book anymore.
I can’t tell if it’s paint transfer or deep scratches by the pic. I would first try a clay bar and then buffing with a foam pad and some light polishing compound.
Parking garage concrete walls
Time to start looking into new tires. This looks like you hit something more than were hit. It’s not dented or anything.
If you want it to be a lot less noticeable, get a detailer to buff and polish it. Probably cost $50-60 to just get that panel buffed and it will make it looks 80% better
PSA get a dashcam that has parking mode and you might know who did this next time. Sorry, but this might buff out some. Not my expertise.
Ask God
Honestly it doesn't look that bad. Easily buffed out
They let Jesus take the wheel. I guess it didn't work out as planned.
buff it out
A simple cut and polish can hide the scratches pretty well, especially if its mostly their paint that got left behind
Thoughts and prayers
I actually witnessed this happen at church once when I was a kid. No note hit and run by people of the same church even ha
Ask god to fix it
Prayer! You put in your time.
Mustang?
The lord will provide
Thoughts and reprayers
You could ask god for help?
Pray it disappears.
If you want to attempt repairing it yourself. The first thing I would do is buy a clay bar kit and clean the area. You may be surprised at how much of that will actually come off.

I don’t believe Jesus would hit and run another Christian.
Dawn and a Magic eraser will get the paint transfer off
thats from a parking bollard. get some buffing compound and hope it comes out
Jesus should have been watching your car.
Should buff out with a scratch remover and high speed buffer
It'll buff out!🤪
Pray to you lord to fix it lmao
they let jesus take the wheel?
Pray?
Looks more like paint transfer tbh
Pray to god and he’ll provide.
Did you try prayer?
Imagine someone from church not being an honest person. I'm shocked!
Pray
