Wouldn't usually post stuff like this, but just in case...

I received this email from a mate;

BEWARE OF PAPER IN THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE

NEW WAY TO DO CAR JACKINGS

(NOT A JOKE)

You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse.

When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.

So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view..

When you reach the back of your car, that is when the car jacker's appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off.

They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

And guess what, ladies?

I bet your purse is still in the car.

So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys.

Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!

BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED....

If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away.

Remove the paper later And be thankful that you read this e-mail.

I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women.

Agreed... But that would require common sense, something that the majority of our populace is missing (or choose to ignore)

... or find piece of paper on your window. Drive off a bit anyway. See who comes out of hiding, then reverse and run the f**ker over! :wave:

alot of people come hard on from the side, only a small amount come from behind and thats when they forgot where they parked

Damnit dude! Why'd you have to go tell everyone?! All I ever wanted was 16 Stageas in my driveway (don't ask me why), and now what chance do I have?! Sheesh: some people......

In all seriousness, it's not a bad scam: I don't think most people would notice it on the way back to their car, and most would probably assume it was a worthless piece of advertising if they saw it once they were in the car. The Police beat at my local shopping centre used to leave a slip under the front window wipers either congratulating you on having locked your car when they checked, or chastising you for leaving it unlocked ( I believe they actually tried to lock unsecured cars, if they could)...

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
