At least he paid for the cleanup fees. Tell him to use his brain next time he even thinks about doing something like that. Just a little common sense can go a long way.

That's a bummer, man! Glad it worked out all right.

Same thing happened to my old Mazda pickup (of all my cars, thank goodness it was that one!) I did it to myself - accidently got cedar fence stain spray droplets all over it. I just got done cleaning that up (took three days of hard labor), and then my neighbor did it to me again!

It took a lot of elbow grease to clean it all off - that was before I discovered clay bars. They are great! I went over the truck with the bar recently and it zipped the remaining stain marks (I missed some ) right off.

you leave your car outside?

I wouldn't leave my car outside especially a CLK.

at least your car is better than it was before ...and most importantly your neighbour paid.

something similar happened to me several years ago with my other car - spray paint from a wall advertisement in a parking lot. They paid for it as well.

It's good that it all turned out okay.....otherwise I will demand a brand new paint job.

Never leave your baby outside "unattended". Park it in the garage

Time to re-locate out of this inner-city neighborhood with white fences and pitbulls...unless your get your own white fence and pitbull.

Now if you decide to stay, tell the neighbor to match your car, if he decides to paint again. (humor) :o
