Good tip for car scratches.

Another problem is that as cars in general have got a lot bigger

So have a lot of people. The two just don't go together well.

When we got back my wife got out a tube of basic own brand toothpaste and tooth brush and now it looks like this

She deserves 'wife of the month' award for that trick.

That's a very clever trick.

Car park rash is annoying I agree - I've own my little 2012 i10 since new (it's just gone over 218,000 miles) and it's covered in it - I've got to the point where I've just stopped caring. I've been hit countless times, and nobody has EVER left a note.

Funny story - I got hit by a car, only gently, while I was sitting in Thame Waitrose carpark having my lunch. The two middle-aged women in car were besides themselves with apologies, especially when they saw the large scratch on the front bumper - but as it turned out, that large scratch had been on the car for about 4 years and she'd only actually added a small extra bit to it. She almost fainted when I grinned, and told her not to worry about it! The other one burst into tears. I got two very big waves and smiles as I drove off - I didn't actually mention it was previous damage - they must of thought I was mad lol!
