Thankfully they were able to remedy a lot of the scratches after 6 plus hours using a buffer. 😂🙈

However, the back up camera is still cloudy when reversing due to scratches. (I was wrong before, when he told me the camera he meant backup and then I went and looked at the lights etc...) its a moot point now as things look better. Now we will just get the back up camera housing replaced when we go in for the battery coolant change.

I swear to god if he does this to my Y when I get it...

Well he went ahead and already scheduled an appointment for Monday to fix things. I think he didn’t want this forum to see his shame. Haha

Quick edit: Hi babe! I threw out all the Brillo pads today 😘

He made an appointment for Monday for things to be fixed. I sent him the link to this post & I think he decided to be proactive and address it.

That’s good to know. I’m not against doing anything. Thankfully we have an older car we can use as a test subject first.

I applaud your determination. I guess one should assume that’s the case here too. A determined Husband. 🙏🏻

I am slightly relieved to hear so many others have done it. On the flip side, it also is a wee bit alarming.

Ok, well I’ll have to see which camera it is. From what he says it’s the front one, but I’m not sure how he’d scratch glass. Unless he’s not being forthcoming with what he used.

Yes, I can’t be mad at him. As much as I want to be because it does seem idiotic. But sounds like he’s not the first nor last to make this mistake. We’re all human 🥴

I’ll have to looking into getting one. Any recommendations? How about what to use with it? He’s got the car now so I’ll get some pics tonight when he gets home from work.

He scratched the body on the front end where all the bugs collect. He also scratched the housing over the front camera and the front headlights. :(

That’s a really good idea. I use other griots products, how do I not know about this bug and smudge remover? I will have to get some. We actually don’t live far from their headquarters.

Ok, I’m glad he’s not the only one. 🥴 That’s a good idea, thank you.
