I had a hired a brand new BMW 1 series in spain a few years ago, just after the 1 series went on sale. Whilst parked one night on the street, the car was keyed on 2 panels. Luckily the car was black, so we took it to a car wash to get it clean and then the repair commenced. Visited local shop, purchased a pack of wax crayons and a black felt tip pen. The wax crayon did not work, however after using the felt tip pen you would never have known it was scratched. After driving around for another 7 days, it was impossible to see the fix. Car was returned and inspected, nothing found and back I came to the UK.
