paint / clear coat damage??
When I pickup my car couple weeks ago, I noticed there are couple paint chips on the trunk and the hood. When I mention it to the ca, she added a due bill for me to bring it back to the dealer to "buff it off".
So while I dropped off the car for my idrive software update, I told the service advisor to take care of the chip as well. When I pickup the car I noticed there are some tiny "white" spots on the paint and I immediate shows it to the service manager and he asked me to leave them the car, he just called and sounds like there is some clear coat damage to the paint and they might have to repaint the hood and trunk. ..If I knew they will do this to my car, I will probably just leave the chips alone, the worst part is they still try to figure out who's fault is this..............and I might out without my car for a few more days...advice anyone??? |

Repaint body panels? Yikes. Body shops usually do an excellent job but I would ask if there is any less drastic fix that will have good results. If not, let them repaint, it will be a couple days but you won’t have any touch-ups.

I found a tiny white spot the day I picked up my car. I didn't notice it at the dealer it wasn't til later. I took it back to the dealer and they tried to polish it out and couldn't. They said that it seems to be under the clear coat. Coincidentally, they're having these people called Miracle Coat or something, I can't remember, come by the dealership next week and they will get them to try to fix it.
So my question: If it's under the clear coat, how do they get rid of it? Is it an automatic repaint job? It's on the hood. |

i've nad almost eh exact same problem with my car. the dealer is bring the car to the body shop soon to get the spot re-painted / re-cleared and blended with other areas of the car. beleive me i know the feeling. just make sure that you are 100% happy with the work or make sure they fix it again. I have to wait on average 2 weeks to get a loaner car though so needless to say its been a long wait till i've been getting things fixed
