Some blighter scuffed front bumper of my #GolfGTI whilst it was parked (only a few months after I had to shell out for a whole side of paint due to a door getting dented by another bad #driver )
Took two evenings on my knees to buff out scuffed clearcoat and paint transfer (thankfully most went) and touch up the scratched part (took 2 tries to get a result I'm happy with) not perfect but good enough from 1 metre, and I don't fancy spending another couple of hundred for a repair (even SMART repairs aren't cheap these days) only to risk it happening again and having to worry about colour matches (there are at *least* 3 shades of Tornado Red )
I'm glad I bought the miniature buffer

@vfrmedia@social.tchncs.de my late teenage years were spent in a non turbo diesel Golf Mk1 that my friend drove like the clappers in, it was light, fast enough -ish and had lovely, predictable handling. Was shortened by a French Peugeot when we shot up a 1 way street by mistake and stood on the brakes, the Peugeot was part of our group. None of us ever had fast cars. Thank God.
