    My face when I see them:



    Turns out it was just spider web...



    My face once I realized they weren't actually scratches:

    Re: This ever happen to you?

    I once thought i had a scratch on my roof what looked like 2 about an inch long nail scratches from a cat or something. All i had with me was some spray glaze so i sprayed it and wiped...all gone! It was 2 cat/dog hair parallel to each other. I was very close to making my neighbors cat disappear forever LOL.

    Unhappy Re: This ever happen to you?

    I take my jack Russell in the truck a lot. So her fur gets all over, when some of it gets on the paint the white fur looks just like a scratch. That I can deal with. But what really gets to me is when I go out to my truck early in the morning and see my neighbor's cat's paw prints all over my truck. This cat is more feral then anything it lives outside all the time. I even caught the little insert prohibited word here clawing the mudguard on the back of my truck. Did I mention that I don't like cats.

    Re: This ever happen to you?

    I woke up the very first morning I had my car and grabbed my cup of coffee and went outside to stare at her. Now what I found was paralyzing. My neighbors cat actually had spent part of its night on my car! 3 deep scratches (all parallel from the same paw) on the hood, one scratch right above driver door on the roof, and a full paw scratch about 6" long down my back window! I think I dropped my coffee and it fell to the ground in slow motion like in Hollywood, but I don't really remember because I'm pretty sure I blacked out, lol. Paint has been repaired as good as it can without respray but that window, I see it every day and want to find that cat and take it to the Chinese joint up the street. (OK, maybe the Chinese don't cook cat and that's a bad stereotype, but until you can tell me they all don't... I'm sticking with they do) That's when my obsession truly began and I found my way to AGO and the great threads and info. To answer the question from OP, that happens to me ever.y single. day. when I wake up and go outside to see any hair (my boxer has wiry hair that looks like scratches when it gets to paint) or mark on my car now. Oh, and the cat, the cat is still around because it belongs to a very nice special needs family across the street and I just don't have the heart. Just reinforces my reason to be on the forum daily!

    This happened to me about two days after I did a full correction on my car. I was freaking out until I gently touched the web and it disappeared.

    LOL. I see these "scratches" on my car all the time. It freaks me out, too. Such a relief to seem them wipe right off.

    Re: This ever happen to you?

    It's happened to me quite a few times, 3 out of my 4 cars are black, and you see every little defect. This thread sort of reminds me of the In and Out section I saw in Car Craft magazine a few years ago:

    In- Getting a second scratch on your paint, and realizing that it's just a car and you should just enjoy it anyway.
    Out- Getting the first scratch on your car.
