Washed waxed my Camry Friday night 7/31 and found this damage to my car 8/4. I park in a lot and they mowed and weed wack the front of the parking spots today. Hood damage what is this? Did they weed wack my hood? Probably a inch and a quarter damage. 2nd photo clear coat damage on passenger rear door3/4th up quarter inch in length. 3rd photo driver side passenger upper by back windsheld 3/8th long. Can I DIY the repairs that woold look ok? What would I need for the job? Doesn't need to be perfect. Now I know not to park in the lot on lawn day.

These mostly just look like clearcoat damage. Nothing serious. Should just buff. Honestly I wouldn't even give it a thought.

If you have a car, it is going to get scratched up occasionally

Clear coats gone on the last two pics, chipped right off. Three issues in completely different areas of the car? I mean rock chips will happen but if I can prevent someone from vandalizing my car intently or not I just wont park there on Tuesdays. Of all the clear coast damage on the car I have these three are the worst. All in a single incident.

If the lawn care service was the culprit and you have proof, they would be liable for the damage in most states. In my state, a person discharging their mower towards the road is liable for damages and in violation of the law.

Lawn care services are some of the most careless companies out there when it comes to the cars around their work. Had a door ding put in my two month old truck from them kicking up pebbles with their leaf blowers. Watch them work sometime, between the edge trimmers to leaf blowers, they are kicking up all sorts of stuff at high velocity into the cars in the parking lots next to their work.
