okay, so the other day I was lazy, and rather than hand washing my car, I went to a car wash that uses just high powered water and soap to wash the car automatically, afterwards i went to go dry up some of the water dropplets that were left over and noticed that after the car wash, there were little chips taken off of my clear coat!! what should I do about this? is that something that because my car is under warrenty, I can go to the dealership and get them to fix, if not, is there a cheaper alternative than going to get it re painted? I was also wondering if waxing the f#*+ out of it will help? I'm so ____ed about this.

 

Without pics there is no way to determine an appropriate fix

 

post pics up and we can help you =)

 

okay, im at work atm. ill throw some on here when I get the chance, thanks guys!

 

scion paint is cheap. already noted and posted up many time on the forum.

the only real "fix" would be touch up paint (from the dealership) and/or trying some kinds of scratch remover/cleaning agent (like from Meguiar's)

and warranty most likely doesn't cover it

anyways..post pictures and we'll see

 

alright so i had to resize the photo because i can only do 19kb
however this is about the size of a dime, i have a few of these all over the hood. also i was asking one of my friends and he showed me a link


and i was thinking a rubbing compound like what he uses in this to get out the bad scratch on his mirror might be aplicable for this situation...?


thanks for the help guys

 

you can try the rubbing compound and if that doesnt work then go to automotivetouchup.com and you can buy paint from there to touch it up. Even in a spray can =) i bought some for my front lip and the color is EXACT match!! totally worth it
