(less than $15)  If that does not work, go to your local paint and body shop material store and find 3m "Finess" polish (about $30).  Buy the white bottle (gritless) and not the grey one.  You will need a high speed buffer (not an orbital).  Clean the entire truck 100% free of grime.  Buff out the entire side, at least.  Be careful not to burn the existing paint around it by being light on the pressure. The 3m polish is not available from your chain stores.  If you can not find it, try www.Eastwood.com (in reply to shayandude) Post #: 2

If it is not down to the primer this product and a little elbow grease will remove it, follow the directions exactly, it may take two or three applications, after applying it follow it up with a polish and then a good coat of wax.

Almost all Wal-Marts and many other retail locations have parking lot surveillance video with 100% coverage and recorded video. This was mandated by many stores due to parking lot abductions, apprehension of shoplifters and civil suits resulting from parking lot accidents. If the video shows who keyed your vehicle, most likely they can be identified and further investigated by law enforcement. Besides, damaging a paint job to that degree, in most states, would constitute a felony. Regardless, I'm truly sorry to hear about your damage. It reminds me of the line from "Pulp Fiction" regarding someone who would do that. (in reply to cgcomeaux) Post #: 6
