:mad: I went to the supermarket and my car got keyed!! Jealous motherf*****s!! Sorry for the profanity but that just makes me mad. Is there any product that will remove or at least alleviate the scratch besides the black paint provided by Mazda? Thanks

Depends...
Sorry to hear about the damage. It's really pathetic how stupid some subhumans are. How deep is the scratch? If it's not deep, you can probably polish it out with a polishing compound (DuPont, Meguiar's, or Mothers). Don't use rubbing compound, get polishing compound. If it's through the black and into the primer or deeper, use the touch up paint from Mazda to carefully fill in just the scratch. Go lightly and do it in a couple of applications until you get the scratch full. After it cures for several days, you can use wet/dry 1500 grit (or higher) sandpaper wet with a backing block or stick to LIGHTLY sand just the repair flat with the original surface. Then use the polishing compound to polish the surfact back to shiny. The above companies also make a glaze that will further shine the surface. Wax and you should be back to nearly original. Jim

I've never keyed anyone's car, and never would, but I'll admit there are times I've thought about it.
Like when you come out of the store and someone's parked half in your parking space (and you KNOW they dinged your car when they opened their car) or when parking places are hard to come by, and some @#$#% has parked kittycorner across two spaces, because he thinks his car is so much better than anyone's elses.
Sometimes I HOPE somebody drags a key down the side of the SOB's car . . . . .
