    Its bad BUT I started the line (that goes from nose to tail in varying depth) with 1500 wet but that did not have enough horsepower so I went to 800 (didn't have in between) wet and that leveled it with paint left, then went back with 1500 wet, then polishing compound, then Scratch-X, then with wax and then a glaze. I am getting the key scratch out but I am having a hard time getting the finish to be "glass" again. I still have some swirls-some pretty bad, some not so but I do not have the experience nor technical exspertise to finish. I think I can do it but I need to know what I really should be doing. I had the above products on hand but stopped until I could get real help from someone on this board. Please any help would be so much appreciated. Thanks

    A lawyer might help. Insurance as a last resort.

    Make sure you get photos of the damage or have an insurance adjuster see it. You need to go to the Cops to get a restraining order, then if she comes near you or touches your property she can get some decorating instructions from Martha:)

    The problem here is that you are going from Scratch X to wax. Scratch X still has enough abrasives to leave the swirls that you are seeing. What you need to do is move to a milder abrasive such as Meguiars Dual Action Cleaner Polish, then possibly Meguiars #80, then possibly Vanilla Moose to a wax. Post some pics of the damaged area and I could probably offer more advice.

    look on the bright side: if you had married her she'd probably OWN your TR now ;). so it could be worse!

    good luck in getting it fixed up.

    It could have been worse. I was married for about a minute (2 years)...came home from a biz trip to find my house cleaned out. Some of my cars stolen (along with titles), cash, etc. All courtesy of the now X wife. She also tried to steal my TR but as they tried to roll it out of the garage they dented the rear quarter and left it.

    Everything that was stolen was mine before we got married. You gotta love community property states.

    The fiasco cost me a 1/2 million bucks...but was probably cheaper in the long run.

    Women.......you can't live with 'em......and you can't kill 'em.

    I didn't have a TR, but your story is close to mine.

    <Sam Kinison>DIE! DIE! DIE!</Sam Kinison>

    Only advice I can give the author is to drive this c*nt to ruin. Make her rue the day she met you. When koppers ask if you want to press charges, tell 'em to throw the whole book. Hard. Then, get anything and everything you possibly can - I don't care how much you've got, destroy her. She deserves nothing less.

    I agree, stop waxing and trying to fix it, hire a lawyer call the cops and get her ass thrown in a cell. Her and Martha can be butt buddies.

    If you or someone did not actually see her do it, you are out of luck.

    Get a police report and turn the claim into your insurance adjuster.

    Put a restraining order on your Ex if you suspect it was her.

    A buddy of mine broke up with his 'high maintainance' girlfriend...much to her dissatisfaction....

    She then proceeds to:

    break into his house
    key his 348
    pea on his living room carpet

    Ahhhh......the fairer sex!!

    Are you kidding me? That is grounds for putting out a contract on her. If not that, at least a trip to see a judge. I wouldn't be trying to fix it myself, I'd be getting a new paintjob care of the ex.

    I'm sure common sence is enough to tell you that she did it, but if you goto the cops or sue her you'll need alot more than that; witness, caught on camera, finger prints, etc.

    On the other hand I've found that a sledge hammer to her car always makes thing ALOT better :), just be smart and don't get caught.

    Axes work well too :)

    Send her a coffin and a tombstone with her name on it. Tell her she either pays to fix the 'rossa or else.

    You need to go to 2,000 grit, then maybe even to 2,500 to get it back to glass.

    Spray paint the word SLUT on the PASSENGER door of her car. With luck she won't see it for a while.

    It seems that would be the most logical course to follow so why not? Does she have something on you that you would rather not have "exposed".
