I've definitely seen worse in the US.
One of the residences in our building is undergoing a major renovation. Workers have been hauling out bag after bag of construction waste for weeks--drywall, tile, plumbing, metal studs, etc. They've just started drywall.
DIY question. My wife scraped up the passenger side of our car trying to pull into our spot rather than backing it in. Their parking spot is perpendicular to ours. The door is scraped down to bare metal. As you can see from this car, most develop a "patina" over time--either self-inflicted or from drive-bys. I don't see much point in taking it into an auto body shop to fix the doors and then repaint since we're here another 1.5 years. I do want to protect against rust, though. The real bad spot is about 3" in diameter. I did bring some wet/dry sandpaper. If I lightly scuff up the area, is there some kind of clear coat I can spray on it to block air/water?
