This was a huge mistake. I scratched the paint, probably with my metal belt fastener while leaning in to wash the top of the car. Pretty stupid move on my part, and I'm reminded of my carelessness each time I open the car door. I suspect that many of you have figured this out and jettison all metal objects hanging from your body before washing your car. If this thought hasn’t occurred to some of you, I hope this story serves a purpose and saves someone from the anguish I am experiencing.

I’m back to the Cayman Care Forum again, this time searching for tips to remove scratches to the paint.
When I wash any of my cars I only wear a g-string and nothing else. That way I never scratch the car. Try it sometime, it also keeps the neighbors at bay from constantly asking questions about your Cayman.
