Just like the title states.
15,000 miles on my car. Clear bra and ceramic coated in 2018. Car gets stored over the winter and washed by me at least twice a week during the warm months. never driven in the rain. I don’t have a garage so it does sit in my driveway during the warm months.
Every year before it gets stored for the winter it gets a wash, wax and polish by the top detail shop in my area.
Washing it today and I see this on the leading edge of the hood, on the passenger side.
At first I thought it was the clear bra peeling but when I looked at the underside of the hood in that same area, I saw the same thing (second photo) in an area where there is no clear bra.
My car is a 2016, I know the power train warranty won’t cover this and I believe the bumper to bumper warranty only lasts 3 years (I have to check).
Questions i have.
1- is this a common issue with our cars? I’ve never seen a complaint about this before.
2- what’s the best way to deal with this thing? Repaint the entire hood?
3- should I get a new hood to repaint?
I always thought these pitting issues were a result of bad aluminum metal used to build the hood.
thank you for the advice fellers.
