Now what??

So we ordered a new roof. The company was supposed to give us a 2 day heads on when they were going to come and do the roof that way I could get my Supra out of the garage.

Well today they showed up without telling us and so when I got home from work I found this:

What do I do next? Anyone ever have this same issue?

It looks like dust in the photos?

Or is it scratches in the paintwork?

It's dust from the shingles and chunks from the old roof that they replaced.

Least they could have done is put a dust cover over it i mean they clearly knew it wouldamage the cars paintwork,

I had something similar once. I found a good wash sorted it out.

Seriously though, what's the problem exactly? From what I can see in your photos there's a lot of dust/chunks of crud sitting on your car? Brush it off?

Just blast it with a hose. At least they didnt drop the timbers on your car roof. With workmen, prepare for the unexpected, lol they never phone you when they need to.

just wash it mate, if theres no damage whats the problem? they should have given you the chance to move it though realy.

I had the same kind of issues with my GT in shortage. You don't want the dirt and debris to scratch the paintwork so a sponge or pressure washer is a bad idea until the majority of it is removed.

I always found hosing the panels down with slow running water took the most of it away. If you repeat this a few times then power hose it should leave the car ready for regular washing.

Ring up and complain. Once had some fuckwit builder stand on my car (found his fucking footprints) to reach some ladders. Needless to say he hasn't darkened my door since..

I can say all of us take great care of our cars, now when I come home to find this I was pissed and probably overreacted. I will take you advice about washing it off slowly and then finishing it. This is the first time this has happened to me I kind of whis it would of happened to the tercel. The tercel is a tank.

I'd be well happy, looks like metal flake paint in some of the pics!

all joking aside, I hope it cleans up to the previous mint condition.
