Of course. I only ever crank it up during my daily commute.

I've removed 98% of it but there are still tiny remnants in the nooks of the handles if you look closely. I'm hoping a machine polisher will finish it off.

You could think about a Blackvue car cam, it records when parked movements around the car, you'd need two for complete protection.

You seem to be implying that I brought this on myself. This happened approx 3 miles from my house. I asked my mate if it was ok to park here and he assured me that he'd parked his car there many times without issue.
I don't have any enemies.
I've had it with an 8 year old Focus, just because I actually look after it - everyone gives me funny looks when walking past just because I'm washing it
- I don't talk to anyone on my road
- I park my car outside my house
- I drive sedately
- I don't play loud music
Yet I've have the guts ripped out of one mirror and a key down my rear quarter, oh and a random kick on my rear bumper.

Does it? I'd like to know what evidence you have for such an assertion.

My car is spectacularly shiny
I do love to detail when the weather is nice at the weekend 
I actually never wash it outside my own home as I don't want to draw undue attention to myself. I always detail at my partner's house as she lives in a much more pleasant middle class area.

Well I'm a southerner born and bred but I've lived in Yorkshire for approaching 10 years. Aside from the odd racist taunt in the early years I love living up here. Its been good to my family. Of course you can't get a decent bag of fish and chips up norf, but thats another story.
Are you suggesting that there are no decent schools outside of private ones? If so you are wrong. Private schools bring their own problems with social development anyway.

I know it's OT but most of my friends who have been to private schools have turned up a lot worse off in life than the people who just went to regular schools.
I know this isn't anything to go off overall but just my experience!
I have observed the opposite - of course exceptions in both situations. Swings/roundabouts I guess.
Anyway - back on topic - my beaten up old 130k mile focus got keyed last year, all the way from the wing to the rear quarter. It cannot have been jealousy unless they had a particularly odd lust for beaten up 5 door silver focuses - just mindless vandalism as per the OP.
Should be shot IMO.

So why don't they take it upto the guy, face to face if they have an issue with him. Got an issue with someone, then speak to them and resolve it.
Bit cowardly though to just vandalise someones property.
But going the private route guarantees your kids go to a good school rather than crossing your fingers and hoping that they get a place in the school of your choice rather than being lumped with the kids from the rough end of town at the Crapton Academy.
Anyway, good to hear that you have pretty much sorted it.
