Who put that *%^#^ Bike Pump there?! 😡

So someone hung a bike pump (no way it was me!) In the tool storage rack on the wall beside her car. Who would’ve figured I would open the door and touch the pump and scratch the paint?!?!

So I tried some Maguire’s compound and finished off with some Maguires gold class wax. (I can almost hear Barry McGuire selling this stuff to me)

It’s a little bit better, but you can still see the mark. Our resident car guy at work is recommending we wipe a little bit of touchup paint into the crack let it dry, then polish off the excess.

Can you buy the touchup stick in the Tesla app? It’s the dark grey colour.

When I take a picture of it without the flash, it’s barely noticeable. But to me, of course, it’s a huge glaring defect lol

Unless it's super deep, a bit of compound with a orbital buffer should get that right out.

If not, Dr chip fix is $45 and worth it.

Sounds good who is Dr. Chip fix?
I’ve got my PDR (paintless dent removal) but I guess I need a chip guy too?!

I wouldn't. I like touchupdirect too because their kits come with a clear as well. Not too pricey. If you're really trying to fix it, buy the right product.

Did you get hurt?

Accidentally bumping a car door into a bike pump isn't likely to hurt anyone, but it can be frustrating. In hindsight, I realize I should have been more careful. I'm seeking advice on recommended solutions. A colleague suggested applying paint to the cut and then polishing off the excess. Another option mentioned was using Dr. Chip Fix. While my ultimate aim is to move past this, any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

Pay no attention to that person they're being a jackass. We pay good money for these vehicles and yes even a scratch can upset the balance.
