Disaster..... Paint protection job
Ok a few weeks ago I had paint protect applied to my new M235i. It looked great but on closer inspection I found the back/ boot lid below the rear spoiler was pickled with tiny dots
Today I returned it to have it corrected that was when my day turned to s#%£ They cut it back and buffed through the paint. What a disaster now I have to have the complete boot lid re sprayed. They did offer to pay for it but that's not the point. ATM I prefer not to say where this happened. I need this resolved Actually makes me feel like getting rid of my car it's only got 1200 kms on it- 3 weeks old

Sorry to hear that webbit,
Almost all BMWs come with a bit of orange peel from factory but make sure they use an accredited BMW bodyshop to respray the bootlid and it will actually turn out better than what it did from the factory. I have been told you should not paint protect the car when it is brand new. See video, skip to 3:00 to see what I'm talking about. |

Damn that sucks - sorry to hear. I know what you mean... about 6 weeks after I got my car, I came back to it in a shopping centre carpark with a trolley resting against it!
Hope you get it fixed... on the bright side I guess it's just a car! |

After only a few months of owning a mineral-white 235 I had a new bumper painted & installed. The BMW COLLOSION CENTER did a perfect spray, the pearlescent specks perfectly duplicates the factory panels.
