gingertom Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hi All Last evening I washed the car and for the first time since I bought it 3 months ago I wiped over the edge of the rear valance inside the passenger wheel arch. a couple of penny size white patches appeared where the paint flaked off the plastic. Has anyone else seen this happen I have contacted the ford dealer and they want to inspect it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlos1987 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 That is disgraceful. 3 months old and paint flaking already. Do not let them try and duff you off. They have to repair that. Sent from my C5303 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky2013 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Without me trying to sounding like a nob, what did you use to wash it, just standard shampoo, snow foam etc? I would take it straight back to the dealer mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingertom Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yes normal shampoo that ive used a 1000 times before The local ford dealer I bought it from haven't got a bodyshop so ive got to take it to a dealer 15 miles away!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackgl Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 It was probably damaged on delivery to the dealer and they done a crap job repairing it Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCat Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 That's what I thought or the paint has taken to the plastic properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
