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?
