winstor Member 611 Member For: 15y 11m 13d Posted 05/04/09 09:49 AM Share Posted 05/04/09 09:49 AM Today I decided to give my car a bit of a wash/wipe down with plain ol' water, no soaps, no detergents, just water. Anyway got around to the left hand side of the car and thought I had missed a spot only to notice a big dirty crack in the paintwork with an indentation roughly the size of a 20c coin!!!! I've only had my car roughly 4 weeks, bought it from a Ford dealer and had them put on the paint protection pack and was told that all the paint work had been fixed up prior to this being done. Also it was a condition of sale that the paint work was touched up. Anyway picture time.I appreciate any advice offered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh gonna have to call them up tomorrow, anything I should say in particular? Looks as if someone tried to hammer a golf ball into the roof and all they did to fix it was fill it with paint or something lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told them it looks like some1 tried to patch a dent up in the roof with filler and they said they would never do anything like that and it must have been a dodgy repair job by the previous owner.

Went round the car a few times and swapped sides to wash the roof a few times and didnt notice it until I was drying around where it was. It wasnt there when I started but was when I finished.

Maybe not bogged properly which has caused the paint to not bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
