"scrape" sounds like ice didnt think it was that cold........
NO it weren't its covered in fine grit...you know were this is going now...
get to the garage to clean it off it wont shift!
look at the rest of the car its all covered in grit
the grit it cast iorn filings from the cutting disc and its stuck all over the car
bummer!
OH FECK! theres 3 cars on the drive one being the nice clean white 6
phonecall from work to lewis at home go check the car
his words were its orange!
everything is covered in the dust and has rusted over night and stained all the cars
i didnt cut no where near the cars but the wind carryed the dust over the damp cars were it rusted
ive washed off the 6 and ive had to clay bar it to remove the spots now it needs superesin polishing to remove the orange staining

What a series of unfortunate events! Amazing!
RE: ive messed up Doh! - Midnightclub - 17-02-2014
Might sound stupid but could you have not used a magnet to just pull the filings off the car?
RE: ive messed up Doh! - bigcheez2k3 - 17-02-2014

RE: ive messed up Doh! - cully - 17-02-2014

i was well away from the cars but the dust must of carryed on the wind and stuck on the wet cars
RE: ive messed up Doh! - Danny2009 - 17-02-2014
Don't know how far away you was but grinding sparks fly 6ft+ from the grinder
Least it's correctable
RE: ive messed up Doh! - cully - 17-02-2014
i was 20 ft away and behind two fence panels and around the corner of a garage the grindings did well to find the cars

cully it happened to my dad, when he cut the donor mgf up! its f*cked the metros windows screen and the 306 driver side window! also showered his jeep too! I took a Stanley knife and tried to etch some of it off. worked a little.
RE: ive messed up Doh! - ConorTRG - 17-02-2014
Get yourself some fallout remover.
RE: ive messed up Doh! - swampy - 17-02-2014
Want to hope it didn't land on any of the neighbours cars
RE: ive messed up Doh! - Danny2009 - 17-02-2014
Fair enough mate! That's shit luck
RE: ive messed up Doh! - JethroJay - 17-02-2014
I can't help but lol at this, I've done something the same as this but with spray paint, spraying my Astra bonnet matt black, paint flew along with the wind, covered the 6 cars that was parked up in black paint, main one been my Astra, windscreen covered in it (could only JUST see out of it) all the drivers side was covered in it, roof was, boot was, rear window was, little specs of it all over a white S3 Audi that was brand new and less then a week old, yeah I messed up and it wasn't even that windy, FML!

RE: ive messed up Doh! - WiNgNuTz - 17-02-2014
You weren't defending yourself imo, you were antagonising the situation. Carry on, and you'll get more warnings.
RE: ive messed up Doh! - Piggy - 17-02-2014
Bugger off puggy...
Gutting Cully. Horrid lesson to learn. Feel for you pal.
I think you have got away lightly though, I have seen it melt into the body/glass
RE: ive messed up Doh! - 7057sam - 17-02-2014
Feel for you mate, hope you can sort it.
RE: ive messed up Doh! - Atterz - 17-02-2014
Use some Iron X on it, hopefully it'll come off. Feel for you mate, not ideal!
RE: ive messed up Doh! - THE_Liam - 17-02-2014
Jesus mate, that's pretty bloody unlucky
RE: ive messed up Doh! - ally406 - 17-02-2014
What a ball ache. Try some Auto Glym Tarmac Remover. I once turned both sides of a car brown with dust from some super aggressive brake pads that liked to spark molten iron filings. The AG did a not bad job applied with a spray bottle, let it soak a little, then wipe with micro fibre.
RE: ive messed up Doh! - Dave - 17-02-2014
I was welding near my mums kitchen windows for some odd reason, safe to say they are not quite as clear as they once were..... Your not the only one to mess up that sucks chap
RE: ive messed up Doh! - 7057sam - 18-02-2014

RE: ive messed up Doh! - cully - 18-02-2014
