Friends: 0 |  Dealerships fault of Not?? hey all, Ok heres the deal, I am the proud owner of a 2007 Black Prius that I got in early 2008. Well being that I was a hard sell he gave me the protective coat for free both inside and out, so of course I was said ok include that. Well now I clean my car religeously and all of the care tips I see in here are repedative to me I used to detail cars. But no matter what I do there is lines ( not swirls ) LINES under in the paint  .. I am starting to believe that this was there before the coat was applied en-tombing it forever into my car. Now I would love to have some opinions from you great people on if you think this is the dealers fault and if I should ask them to try to FIX it. ANY advise would be much appreciated  . P.S. -- it has been about 6-8 months since I got it. thanks for your attention... Jonathan USAF |

Friends: 0 | Re: Dealerships fault of Not?? loks like it was dried with a bed of nails when you get it just right in the light. I have tried lots of methods to get them out but to no avail. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Dealerships fault of Not?? There's no such thing as "free" at a car dealer. It's much too late to do anything about this. Next time Just Say No to all dealer-applied crap. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Dealerships fault of Not?? You've got a Black car. No mystery there. The Toyoguard paint protectant is not perminant in any way. It came with a container of wax/sealant that needs to be reapplied by the owner- every 6 mo. I think. Where and how do you wash your car? I hope you don't go to an automatic car wash. If so, enough said. Last edited by 9G-man; 09-01-2008 at 11:27 AM. |
