does any of ya'lls xbs show any signs of oxidation? i have some on the side of my car and bumper but im starting to think someone rubbed against my car. i just noticed it today when i washed it. any of ya know a good way of getting it off? i felt the areas that seem to have oxidation or watever and it feels rough.

lmk wat ya think cause i dont want to take it to the dealership to get it touched up. thats $$$$$

thanks

 

How old is your xB? If you are still under warranty, take it to the dealership. There is a TSB on this. It seems that during shipping, iron particles can build up on the car, and if not properly cleaned, will cause oxidation and that rough feeling. They should be able to fix it no problem. (I had the same problem with my old Tacoma)

 

i bought my xb from carmax. but they said i still have factory warranty from scion till 36k i believe. its an 04 it shouldnt have any oxidation at all. ill take it to the dealership and see what they can do, they should fix the problem for free shouldnt they? since its a TSB

 

It is worth a try--let us know what they say...........

 

will do. ill give the local scion/toyota dealer a call tomorrow.

 

i emailed them lastnight and they emailed me back telling me to go ahead and bring it in for them to take a look at it. im taking it in on tuesday to see what they can do. ill keep yall posted.

 

Should use a good clay bar system 2x a year to help remove the minerals/deposits that form over time. It's also recommended to use one right after buying a new car, because as you said iron particles do build up.
