I'm so mad

I went to Hollywood last night, parked my car, and when I came back, found a scratch on my door from the car next to me.

I thought I was safe because I parked on the end, but I guess the parking people decided to pack some more cars in since all the spots were taken. What peeves me the most is how inconsiderate some people are. Even when I was in my old POS Maxima, I made sure I didn't hit the car next to me when getting out. It's not like it was a tight spot; I had more than enough room to open my door to the first notch. OK, enough venting...it appears that the clear coat was chipped off, so I was wondering was is the best way to protect the paint underneath?

I feel your pain. Having lived in LA, I know how inconsiderate people can be. It's not just an LA thing. Go to any Trader Joe's or Costco parking lot and you risk having to get serious body work from the shopping cart smash up derby.

To fix it, search for Langka. It's the best way to touch up paint chips.

Thanks Kevin...I just checked out the website and it looks like just what I need. I'll probably get the paint chip repair as well as the clear coat repair since I had some paint scraped off my bumper on only the fourth day I had the car. Apparently it was too difficult for someone to do a 3 point turn to park and scraped a chuck of paint off the rear bumper. At least it was the bumper and not the body...I would have been really pissed then.
