car got keyed in irvine spectrum...
god.. i went there for a few hours.. and i come back and my 1 month old G is keyed.. all along the passenger side.. fron the rear 1/4 to the front fender...
it doesn't look that deep.. do any of you guys know a detailer in the OC who might be able to get it out.. i'd definately like to try that first before resorting to paint..

That sucks dude... Always some @ssholes out there.
See if you can get it buffed out; most likely you'll have to repaint your fender, door, and quarter panel to completely get rid of the scratches

i didn't do anything..
my car is bone stock.. 1 month old.. doesnt' even have plates on it...
i just pulled in.. didnt see anybody or anything.. i didnt do anything out of the ordinary. didn't park any special way or anything.
and i come back to the car about 4 hours later.. to find it was keyed.. probably a bunch of punk *** kids trying to be tough or act cool.. god... fkk it pisses me off just to think about it.

damn man.. sorry to hear that..
there's always some a$$hole(s) that has to f*ck with peoples cars. Next time, valet your car.. there's less people traffic going through the valet lots, so there's less of a chance of your car getting f'ed with.

Ok I just saw this after I posted and have to reply...
DO NOT VALET YOUR CAR AT THE SPECTRUM. I REPEAT DO NOT VALET YOUR CAR AT THE SPECTRUM. I dont care how bad the parking is...either walk or make someone else drive and valet.
I worked there for a couple of months as a valet like 5-6 years ago. I am amazed I didnt get into an accident with another valet the way they drive the cars through the parking lots. SO many times I almost head-on'd someone doing 40-50 through the parking lots then flying around a turn and almost into me. Nevermind the utter lack of care when getting in/out of cars and dinging them up since they might just throw the door open.
I also walk over there sometimes for lunch, and I'll be waiting at the light to cross and see valets come TEARING around to make a u-turn to return cars, then hear them STOMP on the pedal and the engine revving as loud as it can, tires squealing, as they go tearing **** down the street. I've also seen them take longer ways to bring the cars back, just so they can go flying around sweeping turns screeching the tires all the way.
I've always assumed ALL valets did things like this, but I can tell you especially at the spectrum DO NOT VALET YOUR CAR THERE. Theres simply too much time and space (due to the huge layout of the spectrum) where the valets are totally out of sight of their bosses/customers that they can beat on the cars.

I agree with you with the valet located near the Cheesecake Factory (or the valet near the parking structure - Yard House side) where they have to cross the street to park cars.. I have also seen them bullet through the parking lots without any discretion.
Also, (on the D&B and Yard House side) if you arrive say around 11:30ish at the Spectrum, they will allow you to park your car yourself in those parking spots near the front (if there's room).
You still pay the money (but, what's $5-$10), but you get to park it yourself, and you get a close parking spot. and the piece of mind that your car will be a little bit safer..

Sorry to hear...
Sorry to hear...

you can use touch up paint and a toothpick... to fill in the scratch. then wet sand it down to flush and buff. not sure if you want to go through the trouble but this is the best technique i know of to handle most scratches.

could a shop do this for me?? Can you recommend one?
i really do not want to pay to fully repaint three entire panels... it will cost me an arm and a leg to do so.
that sucks and i know how u feel, i got my car keyed at school and its pretty deep. i also got my car egged in the same month at my gf's apt. i must of done something wrong in that month.........bastards!
