Not sure what to make of this. Think of it as funny or be worried?
Just found these scribbled all over my dusty RCF in the underground parking garage also on the side windows and even on the hood. Not sure if there were some small kids or grown up guys/gals who wrote this. Luckily, it is only etched in dust. Will wash it once I get time out over the weekend.
Probably kids. Still though, that would irritate me for sure. I take it there are no cameras in your garage? I would consider putting thr car under a cover when it is "hibernating" for the winter.

Yes, you are right. No cameras in the garage, unfortunately. I might put a cover on it. It might be kids in all likelihood. I have been driving it for the last 2 weeks so it is out of hibernation now. The garage will be cleaned in April so it won't get dirty that quickly after that.

Yeah, agreed I was upset initially at the thought of someone leaning over my car and writing that. I looked very closely and thankfully I don't see any scratches fortunately, but will find out when I wash it on friday or saturday.
Looks to be just minor mischief from kids. Also looks like intent was not malicious. I’ve had previous cars of mine keyed and I’d rather take a dusty finger than a straight edge. Just like others say, maybe invest in a good car cover with a lock. Don’t worry too much about the scratches. You can buff them out.
I think life is just telling you to get a car cover and wash her more lol.
I'd be slightly annoyed on the cf wing, but I wouldn't be freaking out like some are... it's not going to leave insane scratches and if it does in the slightest, some light polish would take it completely off and quite easily. The message on the glass is funny. I've drawn *****s on my wife's vehicles when they get dirty and it's never left any damage on the paint... Driving the car on the highway getting pelted by dust/sand/rocks/dirty rain..etc is far more damaging than someone running their finger on the paint.
Probably someone saying clean the car because it's nice...lol. Get a car cover so it doesn't get this dusty. ;-p
Agreed with the above, I'd take this ALL day everyday over some jackass that either parks super close and dings the door, or keys the car because they are mad that they don't have what you have. Worst is seeing kids with their mom's, and the kids are running around without a care in the world while the mom is too distracted or has her hands full to see the kids smacking cars with their toys.
Pushing dirt & dust into the CF and paint likely marred the clear coat and will cause scratches. Same goes for improper washing techniques.
Yes, I agree. I will wash it and find out, but so far no visible scratches. I want to go wash it right now, but life is so busy I won't be able to get to it till the weekend.

Yes, that is what it looks like. That is what I was freaked out about when I saw it first as to whether there is any pointy object used, but luckily the person or person were using finger tips for it.
Wash it and buy a custom car cover.
That is what I plan to do. I want to go out and wash it right now, but family, work etc. means I have to wait till Friday.

Thanks Agreed. It does not appear to be malicious. I am concerned about the carbon fiber, but visibly everything looks fine. I will have to wash it and find out.
Stop blaming the other people, you did that so you can post it here...lol... just kidding... they’re just admiring your car.. but definitely need a wash though!!!

It was hard for me to wait till the weekend as I was really bothered so I squeezed in half an hour after work today to go for a wash. Thankfully, everything looks fine. Could not spot any visible damage.
Funny thing is, on my way to the wash on the freeway, a guy in a newer model Mazda 3 with terrible sounding ricer exhaust kept pacing me wanting to race. When I ignored him, he sped away with that horrible sounding exhaust as I took the exit ramp.
Came here expecting jealous ex-lover, found silly kids with the classic "wash me" in the dust.
A+, would chuckle again.
LOL...thanks for the chuckle. I recall a case from many years ago when someone left the top down on his E46 M3 Convertible and his g/f threw blue paint all over the interior of the car because she had found out about his indiscretions LOL
That would not be an issue in my case since my wife is the only relationship I ever have been and the garage door requires pass access. My wife is always more worried about the RCF than I am.
