Default Women drivers!

Was driving along in the outside lane of the motorway this afternoon looked in my passenger side mirror and seen a punto trying to join me in the outside lane! Blasted the horn and she still keeps coming into the side of me! Pulled over and not much damage. Just a tiny we dent and a big black score down my shiny white van from her mirror. Could of been a lot worse.

what's good at taking that off? T-cut?

T-cut is bad!!! Use a cutting compound, or even some 2000wet and dry and polish to reshine, t-cut contains amonia which will dull the paint finish.

It's a work van, leave it as Is.

I got side swiped by a combine last week, (true story believe it or not) left me a lovely little love tap as I'm sure you can imagine. Just another battle scar....lol...

What do you do for a living, jointer ??

Bit of cutting compound and a good polish will sort the mark out by the way chap

I was just LV and my company sent me down to freedoms training centre in Corby at the end of last year to do some HV. 9/10 it's only the end boxes we do on the HV. The odd straight joint too

Or some good old Autoglym paint restorer will do the trick.

Yea I did a bit of training there but most of it was done at EDF's yard (now UKPN) at Bury.
Freedom sold that training school a few months back, apparently they lost 5 million quid on it.
I've actually got a 2 day HV refresher at bury next week.

Women just don't look, or even think to look.
It annoys me when in a supermarket car park with women and children everywhere, it's the women who drive far too fast in the car parks.

Rant over.

I feel for the op. Try a little UAE of clay bar, cutting compound and polish mate.

I admit SOME women are **** poor out there. My wife drives my car and she's fine with no damage to report after 7 years of ownership.lol

My wife isn't too bad, all four wheels have kerb marks on her car though but that's about it, other than the nice dent that's now in the bonnet. However I must admit, that was me closing the garage door down onto it, lol....

I always find it strange that they try and park as close to the tesco entrance as possible. Why not just park a little further away so you don't have other cars next to you.
