I went to get in my car this morning and noticed a tiny nick in the door. I think it happened when I got gas. The door swung open before I could catch it. I have some stuff at home that is supposed to buff out nicks and scratches. I think it will work; the nick is not that bad. I just hated to see my baby damaged so fast.

 

that damn swinging door is a damn liability! :P

 

Took my car up into the cariboo here in BC and managed to locate a few rocks on the 5 hour highway run. Battle scars. May need to purchase a hood cover.

 

When I used to drive dumbmestics with GM's forever opening doors that weighed 2 tonnes; converting to Japanese I had to relearn and gain some finesse.

 

I did find out on my 400 mile jaunt today (38.9 US MPG BTW) that a Fit windshield is in fact, Starling resistant at 65 MPH. In all my years of driving, I have never had a bird hit the windshield!

Makes you duck and close your eyes tho....loud thud too!

 

Rock hit my windshield. Got a crack the size of a nickel. Worst rock chip I've ever had.

 

OOhhh that sucks... Dude sorry to hear...

 

Hahaha, that made me laugh. Thanks!

 

damn...i got a tiny tiny chip in the front!!! nothing real noticeable, but when i look at it i can see it and thats what counts...but thats the draw back of the black.

 

Oh man, now I feel really bad about complaining about a tiny nick. I'm so sorry about your car. Hope you can get it fixed ASAP.

 

I got a tiny chip on the hood.

 

I found scratches right under my door on the side flair molding. I think it was from the vaccum I use to vaccum the car out. It is minor and will hopefully buff out. How does one do that? The buffing out of a scratch I mean.

 

yeah - this car doesn't have moulding toprotect the doors in the parking lot,unlike every car in the history of the world

 

I have a tiny, tiny, tiny stone chip in the hood, what can you do?

 

Chips happen.

 

im sure everytime you look at your car, you see it clear as day yet everyone probably says your car is clean, you know, in your mind, that its not....the chip haunts your every dream :<

 

I just called Benvento and they don't have a hoodguard in the works yet
Anyone know if the Australian Market one that College Hills shows online will actually fit the NA Fit?

I've had one like this on a Toyota and it scratched the paint underneath if it got even a little dirty

and I don't care if God himself told me the 3M sheet product worked - it's just too tacky like plastic covers on a sofa

 

I went by my dealer on the way home. They haven't gotten any touch-up paint for the Fits yet. As a matter of fact, the guy I talked to said they hadn't even got touch-up paint for some of the '06 models yet. He suggested since the knick is really tiny, I should put some clear nail polish on it to help seal it until I can get some paint. I rushed right over to the drug store and got some. I think it will work fine for now.

 

I saw something on an automobile television programme on Chicago's public TV channel, saying to do this, especially to seal before winter and rust was a problem. If it works there, should work for you in VA.
