Hi there,

Three days after picking up my very-near perfect V35 it was egged. If you car has never been egged, the shattering shell leaves behind a series of very small scrathes that go right through the paint. Apparently eggs shells are very sharp.

Does anyone know of a great auto detailer in Sydney's inner west to help with a repair. I don't have a pic but essentially it is about 20 very small scratches in a circle the size of a 20 cent piece.

Also, if you have ever egged a car, you are a d!ckhead.

Ben.

Hey mate,

Depending on how bad the damage is, it shouldn't be too hard to do yourself. Just get some quality products from supercheap or autobahn and try doing it yourself. :P If not that then maybe a post/search in the NSW Section would be better.

Sorry to hear about your 'attack' and goodluck with the repair.

I'm getting Mark from DR Detail to detail my car tmr.

BUT MY MISSUS TOOK THE CAMERA!!!!

So i dunno if i can take good pics.

I hate c**ts that egg cars! :) Deserve to be beaten to death.

On a more lighter note, try Meguiars Scratch X, it's the best stuff i have used to get deep scratches out unless it is completely down to the metal, which in that case only new paint can fix.

Thanks for your responses guys. I agree, people who egg cars should be put down.

The plan is to try Scratch X first (I need some for my R32 anyhow). When that doesn't work (I'm sure it won't) I will try these contacts out to see how I go.

Thanks heaps!

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
