Dave that happen recently...
We had a severe nor-easter with hurricane like winds. It ripped (8) 5/8 steel Rods out of the ground, threw 400lbs of sand bags around like it was tissue paper, ripped eye hooks and a 4x4 out of the ground (and my 4 extra rachet tie downs). And then a 20ft x 10ft x 12ft Portable Garage became the worlds biggest Parachute as it flipped over and went up over a 6ft fence, then flipped back over the fence and back down to earth with steel rods sticking out of it's legs straight onto my L
(the car cover was on and saved A LOT more damage, it was ripped BAD in 6 diff spots (from the steel anchors). Eventually the wind ripped the eye hooks out of that and it flew down the block)
I was real fk up over it at the time, it happen days before I was going to Atco (I was convinced Mike was gonna kick my ***, & he carrys a gun : o () hehehehe)
So there I spent night after night going over each area (there were a few where it got scratched BADLY). I sanded and compounded and polished and sanded and compounded and polished and before you know it ....
Wa La it was all gone ....
***** the good news is you see white in the scratches, the white is the clear coat and you CAN hopefully sand most of it out (as said all depends on how much paint is in that area) I see some red in one of the scratches and I'm not sure if thats paint from something she hit or ... ???
