Paint Issues
#16
I have the exact same problem!at first i though it was rock chips also but i saw a few on top of my car...and trunk...i had water spots before but had it taken cared of...it isnt from water spots at all...What a detailer told me was that it might be sap...but i doubt it because i usually dont park under trees..
What i think it is, is bugs...because after i wash and dry my car i would see a lot of bugs on my car.. and i drive it to the garage and park it... the hood would be warm obviously.so i am guessin the bugs that sit on the car dies and the acid in them eats through the clear coat. thats the only explanation i can think of..it sucks though ive only had the car 2 months...

I sent my car in to Infiniti and talked to my salesmen and he immediately agreed to fix the problem free of charge. I also told him to ensure that this doesnt happen in the future (maybe more paint peels in other areas after the affected areas are fixed) and he said he will have the bodyshop "assess" the vehicle to ensure it doesnt happen again. Before sending it in to get fixed im going to inspect the car thoroughly just to be sure they dont miss anything.
One thing Im still unsure about is he said the paint must have chipped when the car was being delivered to the dealer. I argued it wasnt during delivery because i inspected it myself and found no problems and that the chips came at a later time for unknown reasons but the salesman is adamant it was during delivery. So what is the cause? Still unknown at the moment...

I really thought it could be rock chips until everyone that has seen it in person disagrees as there is a center with paint still inside in addition to the circles being accurate in shape random rock chips dont make even circles, they are on weird areas such as trunk and rear pillar. And I drive the exact route (not a turn different) as my 3 series (the 3 series driver and I attend the same school but at different hours) so rocks being kicked up chipping mine makes no sense as my BMW has flawless paint.
