A very sad thing happened to me this evening.
I pulled into Shell to get some Optimax, picked up the nozzle out of its cradle and, as I moved it towards the filler cap, the rubber hose somehow pulled out the adjacent nozzle, which crashed down on to the side of my car. Owch.
It's made a very slight dent, which I guess I have pretty much no hope of getting out, and a small circular scratch where the impact was. The car's paintwork is otherwise practically pristine and although the mark is only small (and truth be told I have yet to see it in daylight), I feel like it's tarnished the whole car! I need to get it sorted.
I've had a quick read through some other very helpful threads and Scratch X seems to be strongly recommended - I was just wondering if anyone could suggest whether I go for that, or for some touch up paint (http://www.wilcodirect.co.uk/index.php? ... ts_id=2839).
And do I have a hope in hell of sorting out the minor dent? It's such a shame as I've only had the car three weeks! Seriously unlucky. I left my details at the petrol station and have got the manager's name (the attendant was very helpful) but tbh it's not like the damage is serious enough to try to claim compensation, and I'm not really down with this whole litigation, everything-that-goes-wrong-can-be-blamed-on-someone-and-sued-for culture anyway.
Many thanks.
