[QUOTE="jlaine, post: 44695, member: 542392"] I won't help with the revenge part.. .but I can help you remove those scratches. First thing is you need to go get some touch up paint in your vehicle's color. You can get it in a eye dropper kind of vial with a brush in it, that is what you are after. Once you have that, go home, and wash your car with dish soap (like dawn and the like.) DO NOT DO THIS REGULARLY. We are using this to strip off all the wax and protectants above the clear coat. Just this once is what we are after. Once you have that done and the car is dry and clean, touch up the area he hit with the paint. Allow it to dry, then wetsand it with 2000 grit sandpaper, LIGHTLY. Just enough to flush your touch up job to the rest of the vehicle. Then go purchase something like 3m perfect-it rubbing compound, and apply.
