Default Needed to Wash Car!

So I decided I needed to wash my car as my girlfriend chipped my paint on the trunk hood, so I decided to wash it.

First ones always hurt. Just fill in the chip with touch up paint. It may not be as noticeable where it's on the edge.

The first chip you get does suck. We already have one on the edge of the driver's side front wheel well, and we got a rock chip in the windshield too, both in the first week of ownership. Had the windshield chip filled (repaired), and I used some touch up paint on the paint chip and Langka blob eliminator to smooth it out. It's not perfect but is less noticeable.

She tried to take some metal shelves out of the trunk, not sure why she couldn't wait she must have thought she was the hulk carrying that many. She was closing the trunk from the side and scratched the trunk with the edge of the shelf all I heard was oops. I wasn't watching but I don't believe her as I was inside. I was really pissed, she must have known cause she said she is gonna get me the lowering springs for my car since I have been looking, she is off the hook for now until the next screw I need to wrap my car in bubble wrap. That's all the snow we have gotten, it's near where I wash my car, they have run out of room to store the snow. I'm scared to use the touch-up paint feel it's gonna leave a bad looking mark.

A little touch up shouldn't hurt it though! At least she's buying you some lowering springs! The GS looks great all cleaned up, by the way! And all of that snow makes me happy that we're in Miami.... lol
