I hate when people do that! people just don't get to leave other's properties alone. i wouldn't touch or lean on someones car. why do others? one of my friends was looking at my last car and commented on how nice it was and then proceeded to rub it with greasy fingers and say "nice car". wtf? and another would lean on it in my garage and have a beer. i need new friends!

First thing I'm thinking this idiot just put bunch of swirl marks right in my clear coat. Mind you this is a brand new 2015 Mazda 6, and the car is also black so even after washing the car I can see swirl marks where they had written on the hood. I know this can be polished out, but I wont do it if I don't have to and plus you only have so much clear coat. I will be driving my Z in the summer due to having all 4 seasons here in Ohio. I had talked to the security person here at the company to see if he can pull up the footage of the parking lot. He told me he's not able to discuss security camera information with me or show me footage, but as I was leaving he said he will see what he can do for me.

I know the person who had done this probably wasn't trying to cause damage, but I still would like to know who so I can confront them to not do it again.

Not sure if anyone had experienced something similar and if you have what did you do to resolve the issue?
It was me...

I really like the new Mazda 6. If I was in the market for a mid-sized sedan, that would be it. The look didn't translate tot he 3 quite as well.

The handling is surprisingly sporty like for a mid-size family sedan.

Use a random orbital and some M205 polish. Yes you only have a limited amount of clear coat, but you'll be fine. The first thing I do after getting a new car is a paint correction polish. Cars are swirled to hell from the dealership.

This^^^ Although I prefer Menzerna products. SF4000 with a white pad would do the trick.

Yes, this would frustrate me too. I can't stand the leaners either. You know, the person who has to lean all over your car like it is a prop for there sorry butt.

Maybe they did this because you wrote on a forum in big bold letters?

The hood of the car's one the hardest spots to keep in pristine condition anyway, it gets hot, gets pelted with bugs and on some cars is not the same material as the rest of the body panels. I have learned to be less OCD about the condition of my hood, it's just not good for your health

It's a Mazda, get over it. Why is this mentioned in General Z chat again?
