i'll take this time to 'vent' mine also. this happened over the weekend. every saturday i typically stir around the house and around 10:00 i go out and wash the car ('88 240dl WITHOUT a blemish, ding, rust, etc.) well this weekend, starting friday, was real sh*##y!!! i just wanted some peace and solitude to myself, away from the family for a couple of hours. i have a 1200 psi sprayer that i occasionally use and decided to use it saturday. i get around the front and bend down to spray the bugs off the air dam and blue paint starts flaking off. that gets me started. asi move around to the wheels i almost spray my logo off my covers (these are less than 2 months new) and after i wash i decide to buff it with my 3/4horse buffer. i've had my own detail shop and know how to use this thing, except for this day. as i get to the rear of the drivers side, I BURN THE PAINT <>. the small strip that arches over the wheel well, between it and the rear door. to make matters worse, the touch-up paint i have have jellied and now it looks like i have a large blob of blue whitout smeared over this spot. now when i get in, i have this obvious reminder of my sh*##y day. oh well, she's still my beauty.
