Keyed!!!!

I've had my car about a week and today while spending the day with my son decided to go walmart( mind you I hate that place). But I need some things. I parked in the middle of the parking lot with no cars around and went in. I was there ten minutes or less and I come out and some hater decided to put some swirls on the back of the trunk. I was pissed but I had my son with me and I didn't want him to see me mad. The kicker is that I just finished picking up the car three hours earlier from the body shop because they finished painting my trunk!!!! FML!!!

The marks aren't deep, are there any products I can try to use to minimize the key marks...

boy, the northeast have alot of evo haters. every thread i've read like this is from new york, pa, illinois, etc., etc. that sucks to have to deal with. if it's not deep, you might be able to polish it, but it will still be visible. good luck.

I've had cars vandalized before. It's just so stupid. Sorry about your luck. Another reason to stay out of that joint.

F them haters. Cursed them to hell Sorry to hear about your issue man. I would have go back to the store and have them show you the video of the punk who keyed your car. Report it to police and get them to pay for your trunk repainted

Walmart has video, get a police report and hopefully find these bastards.

Bring it back to the bodyshop because the paint might not be fully cured and they might be able to fix easier.

Ahh, mang sorry to hear that. I hope it didn't go deep into the paint. If it hit the clear coat, you'll be able to take that out no problem. If it went deep into the paint, YIKE! Be a b1tch to take out. :\
EFF haters! Karma will come to them soon.

Well i hope you get that key mark fixed.
Good luck mang.

It would be a lot easier to comment with a pic. If it's just the clear that's damaged, it would be very easy to polish-out at this stage. Product-wise, you can use 3M Imperial Hand Glaze. It's laden with fillers.

Thanks for the tip.... I tried to get a pic but the marks don't show up cause of the glare bouncing off, i'll see what I can come up with laters.
