GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

so about three months ago I had 2 goats play king of the hill on my hood. Now I have some very deep scratches and was wondering what would be best to make them disappear. I have tried scratch x and it got most of the little ones out.

oddest first post ever. welcome to the forum

Welcome fellow 757 native. I would expect a post like that to coming from Suffolk, not Va Beach. I'm sure that Maguires sells some sort of Goat Off product that Whelan will recommend. Whelan is our resident detailing expert.

Goat Off or maybe Hoof-X.

That is Meguiar's, lol.You had goats on your hood? I hope you are joking.Take some pictures of the hood and we can start you off with a diagnosis.

i really wish i was joking and i will have a pic or 2 up as soon as i get that spot clean so you can see it. i went off roading a bit yesterday so theres some mud on my hood.

Don't worry, Whelan will give some great tips on how to get rid of the scratches. At least your story is funny, my wife scratched my car when she was putting our daughter and her car seat in.

At least your story is funny, my wife scratched my car when she was putting our daughter and her car seat in.oi. i do that all the time. I don't mean to, but its kind of a trick loading in a 2 year old, a diaper bag and misc. other stuff while balancing a cup of coffee . I'm a happy man now that my daughter's able to climb in her seat herself.

Cups and other items on the car roof is a sin! LOL I'm pretty sure its one of my commandments, but I'll double check

I believe the general rule is if you can feel the scratch, it wont come out. So if the scratches are really deep you might want to get some touch up paint and try your best. Or take it to a professional.

Welcome to GenVibe! Sorry, but that was the funniest thing I have read in a long time....sounds like the start of a joke...2 goats were on a hood and one says to the other "Hey, I kinda like this...I'm getting a good Vibe from it"...hahaha!Is there a video...... "2 goats 1 Hood"?......

thanks and the problem is that i cant get touch up paint for the car because there is metallic flake in my paint...

i have no idea. i bought the car used...

Chances are it is the factory "Abyss" paint which does have a light metallic flake to it.

no idea. but i didnt notice the flake til i had the car for 6 months. one day it sat in the sun and i saw pink and green in it and thought i was going blind.
