Paint issue?

Have an appt next Friday at the dealer and their paint guy will be there to look at the spots. I washed and clay bar-ed it today as I was going to ceramic coat the rest of it and leave that area until after they looked at it. I was inspecting everything closely before getting started and I kept finding more and more spots. Nothing was really visibly in normal light at normal distance but putting a flashlight on it I was finding all kinds of things. Including some kind of white stuff buried in some of the plastic trim that I couldn't clean off.

So in the end I opted to hold off on ceramic coating until after they look at it next week. 🤞They just have him do a polish on the whole thing and then I can ceramic coat it. If they don't though I'll probably look into getting a polisher so I can do it before ceramic coating it. Not sure where all these spots came from, if it was the factory or something else, but definitely some paint quality issues....

Oh I had the same issue with the gas door too, paint wasn't thick enough on it so it looks brownish in spots under light.
Dealers are HORRIFIC at paint correction. You couldn't pay me to let a 16 yr old dealer "detailer" go wild with a rotary polisher.

it sounds like this is an external guy they bring in to do their paint work, so hoping he's good at what he does
