So... Yesterday morning I went out to the car to load up for a few days away with the family, and was greeted with this nightmare sight
My first assumption, looking at the marks, was that a neighbour's dog had been trying to get to a bird or cat that may have sat on the car. The marks were literally on every panel!
Anyway, before going on a witch hunt for said dog owner, I had a look at the CCTV.
I was absolutely amazed to see it was a pair of crows!
For about 30 minutes these two crows continuously attack my car, assuming they're trying to kill their own reflection!
Small snippet below.
I took lots of photos and video, before giving the car a wash.
After the wash most of it has gone, but up close in the worst areas there are definitely still scratches in clear coat.
I'm torn as to whether to have a go at polishing it all out myself (I have a DA) or go the insurance route....
Opinions on a post card.
Has anyone had any experience with this kind of thing? Or know if insurance will do a paint restoration?
