Okay please excuse me for not using the search buttonbut as i was proudly buffing and waxing my tc i noticed that the color faded in it has anyone had this problem and what could i do about it. I have a long term contract and a faded car thats squeeks like hell whats going on scion. Someone please help mainly about the color.It was nautical blue then turned to indigo ink then i really dont know what the crap it is now. Right now i dont care about the sqeeks in it i just turn up the music but trying to show a faded tc to a judge NOT HAPPENING. Help fellow enthusiasts.

 

well the tc is known for givin a lot problems your describing...bad paint and rattles nothing new

 

should that not be covered under warranty? how long have you had it?

 

pics?

 

how badly has it faded? pics would help

 

Pics would help more!!

 

Faded? Where? Is it in spots or the whole car or what? Could you be buffing too much? What products have you been using on it?

I don't think that there's a chance it would be covered under warranty... there's no telling what you've used on it (wash/wax/etc).

 

i think i heard a story on here once about bird poop ruining someones paint on their tc and left a bad spot in the paint...is the tc's paint that bad??

I never had a problem with my paint with the box....maybe cause its white and cant notice it fade..

 

Kinda tired of mine now too, even though it's not faded, is only 5 months old and at just 2600 miles. Oh well, at least it's paid for.

 

fading?-how ?, Is it everywere? or just in one spot? I was just thinking the same thing. My bumper is noticeably darker than the rest of the car! Is this something that would be covered in the warranty?I paid for the stupid paint protection!

 

I'm still kind of confused how possibly fading paint makes you tired of your car...

 

bird poop will etch any cars paint if left on long enough depending on the area you live
( what your birds eat can be more acidic that other areas)
clear coat paint doesnt fade like single stage paint
you may have used an aggresive polish that left a haze

 

indeed ^

good job fellow autopian

 

nope no poop has never hti my car
tomorrow during the sunlight ill try to take pics and post them
ya its just totally faded in all the parts not just some
ya i noticed it and i called the dealership so i can check on the warrenty but everyone already left
no its a safe polish i work at a detail shop we do all th high end luxury vehicles and no problems with them
i dont know hope its under warrenty kind of scared here
could it be this texas weather its not garaged and it stays parked in the sun all that couldnt do it unless there was a defect

 

oh ya had it since nov so about 8 months

 

oh yeah paint making me tired of my car once long time ago my old civic(fist show car) got hit and from till the end of its time had so many problems so one used car to another building them showing them and trading them i hate problems by the end of that so i buy a spotless new tc no problems and i thought no defects and now annyoing and i mean anooying rattling and then now my paint is fading ill try my best to get pics up asap but i have to wait for the sun but thats what makes me tired of my car is car problems

 

did you use a rotary buffer?

 

I had sap hit my car and and I dunno what it did to the clearcoat but now there's a nice little hazy looking spot...and to the person who asked, YES, the paint really IS that bad.

 

what products did you use on it exactly?

 

um whats the diff between that one and the other one
this one was electric had two pads its real nice our boss swears by the buffer so i just go with him no complaints and the customers keep coming back i mean they drive fat cars infinitys, mb bmw lexus weve done one farrari but no lambos or porsches yet
