blowing leafs scratching?
 
Are blowing leafs scratching my paint? i come home and find that i have several small scratches and my truck is about 15 feet away from a tree, and it has been windy the past 2 days

It's possible... but unless it's a huge tree with huge leaves in a wind storm, I don't think so. Are there any cats around? That's how my hood got tons of scratches on it. Stupid ex-girlfriend...

yea the tree is about 50 feet tall and the leafs are pretty big, plus its been windy as hell the past 2 days

Stranger things have been known to happen... The paint on my first car would scratch if you looked at it wrong. Better give it a good wash and put on some a few coats of wax and see if the scratches go away.

+1

Nothing a little Scratch-out and a good wax won't fix.

LMAO, sorry man, it's too hard NOT to laugh. I don't think there's even been a thread regarding such a question on here. LOL

Unless you have leaves like steel wool, I highly doubt it. I'd point towards general use of a shammy cloth or "dusting" the vehicle off with a towel being a more likely cause.

But as mentioned in an earlier post, stranger things have happened. LOL

well scratchs are appearing from no where man, like i washed it no scratches, gets windy and theres older "hard" leafs on the ground so i dunno, i just thought i would ask. I know it sounds funny but im serious, i let it air dry never touch it with a towel or a rag, never dust it, so i thought maybe someone else had some similar experiences

Are there any sticks on the ground near your truck????

darkstar_420 09-30-2009 07:58 PM

naw not really, unless they are scratches that were already there and are just now showing from the dealer wax job?

Is your truck black? if its black someone could fart next to it, and the paint will immediately swirl mark. I love my DSG!:biggthump

LOL. My dad says the same thing. Everytime you wash something, you find a new scratch, and it is very true.
