Dammit!! Coming to school this morning, this volvo runs over something on the road, which immediately comes back and hits ME. Of course this douchebag in a suzuki swift was right on me so I couldn't move to avoid it either. So I've got some paint damage right now. Nothing serious, more aggravating than anything.

I need to know what I should start doing to get that stuff buffed out (I know it'll buff out, again its not THAT bad). I mean like what compounds and stuff should I use, or should I just go step by step down the meguiars line? It did take a nice chunk out of my mirror tho...right down to the fiberglass. Gah.

Suing somebody else's insurance for roadside debris? Please.

That sucks though, man. Some fine rubbing compound (3M) will probably get it out, though if it's bad enough you might need to go coarse first.

Nah, its just some scuffs on the clearcoat:)

I just haven't had the chance to work on it...and I probably won't do anything about it seeing as I probably won't have this car much longer:D
