I hate LA parking. I was inside a very small parking garage, and without even thinking I reversed too much and hit a pillar on my left rear fender and bumper. I was going very slow, so I feel like it looks worse than it is.

Any recommendations on what products I can use that could get rid of the pillar paint (which happens to be white on my obsidian... )?

Thanks guys, any words of encouragement can make my day go by faster haha.

(This all had to happen two days before my birthday too)

drink a beer and you will forget about it...

Maybe buy your car something nice for your birthday?

Just set aside a half a day to take your time and get it off slowly... im sure blackjack has some nice tips and will post any second now...

 

Post up some pics so everyone knows what advice to give you.

 

Rubbing Compound should bea ble to get it out if it's just paint and minor scratches... Be sure to wax afterwards... Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound...

 

fight on?

No wonder.





Haha, man I am harsh now, I blame it on my usc coworker.

Post some pics so we can see how bad the damage is to better help you.

I will put up the pics once I get off for lunch guys.

Haha Bruin..it's okay I will allow you to laugh at my misery since we're going to the Rose Bowl!

Good game last Saturday though..i'll be honest I was scared after that trick play hahaha

 

Sorry to hear. Yeah I hate LA parking, especially when you're forced to valet by people getting paid minimum wage. I remember a couple weeks after getting my car this mexican dude parked my car next to a stone pillar and was extremely close to hitting it. i couldn't even fit my thumb into the gap between my bumper and the pillar.

 

Yeah that's my biggest fear at our parking garage, they decided to put in a ton of these short blocking posts and they sit at just about the same level as my door so I can miss seeing them at times.

 

Anyway, I wasn't laughing at your misery, just instinct kicking in, haha. Which lot was it? Was it a tight space so that we should avoid it?

I don't know if you guys have been to the McCormick and Schmick's in Downtown LA, but there is a parking garage right next to it. It uses one extremely small lane for cars going in and cars going out. Not only that, they have small circular pillars that make the lane seem even smaller.

Just be careful.

Here are the pics per your requests (sorry for bad quality, I used my BB):
