Someone has delicately scraped into my car . I noticed first the mirror
was knocked, there was also a V small paint scuff on the side. Looks like the scuff was so gentle that there is no damage to the actual metalwork but there is a piece of paint transference. This mark will not come off with spit and rub. Is there anything I can apply that will take this scuff paint off but leave the proper body paint underneath unaffected? Time to invest in a dashcam with a proper full parking mode, so I can prove who it was and 'cut their gollies off'(or the female equivalent). |

soup presented the following explanation :
This mark will not come off with spit and rub. Is there anything I can apply that will take this scuff paint off but leave the proper body paint underneath unaffected? Try Tcut, or Brasso, or chrome cleaner, or toothpaste on a cloth. |

There used to be a product available called 'cutting paste/polish', with which you could gently rub the affected area to remove the scuff. I think it might still be avaiable from a well know high street motor accessory shop. |

I think local planning does make provisions for parking in new builds. Never enough though. For years they only allowed one space per household on many new estates - to deliberately "encourage" people not to have cars. Of course that was useless as most couldn't get to and from their workplaces; carry a week's shopping for a family; get the kids to and from clubs and the like without. They may now be making sure that there is more parking now, but even then it is often only two spaces and frequently one in front of the other, so one car is blocked in by the other and to avoid that they park one on the road still. In reality, many households have a husband and wife, both working and needing cars. These days, there are often one or more grown-up children there as well, who cannot afford their own home yet, but also need cars to be able to work and have a social life, while they build up a sufficient deposit for their own home. The problem is in streets built before car ownership was common place especially where many houses were converted to flats for multiple occupancy. I believe that my councils planning department will no longer approve conversion of a house to flats in many areas unless the developer makes provision for off road parking. That is a good move!

Of course that was useless as most couldn't get to and from their workplaces; carry a week's shopping for a family; get the kids to and from clubs and the like without. When the Edwardian estate we used to live on was built, nobody had a car.Later, as car ownership expanded, householders paved or tarmaced over their front gardens and got the council to put in a dropped kerb. The situation has now deteriorated to the stage where it is bot unusual to find two or even three cars parked side by side, nose on to the house, with the rear ends over half of the footway. About three year or so ago, the council announced that they would not grant planning permission for a dropped kerb unless the frontage was at least as deep as a car length. It is a very large estate and I can't recall ever seeing a single house with a frontage that deep! -- Terry --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

No VED, and no taxation on their fuel. Bollox - their fuel is FOOD, which is usually taxed. Even bottled water is taxed. Local roads are paid for out of COUNCIL TAX, so when you drive into another county, a non driving cyclist who pays that council tax is paying for the upkeep of the roads that YOUR car is damaging.
