Paint Issues









Yesterday, I washed the truck and noticed more marks in the same area of the driver’s door. I’m at a loss as to what this could be or how to remove it. You can slightly feel it but it feels like it’s below the paint.

Could it be corroded aluminum?

For some reason it cut off the first part of my post.

I’ve had my 2017 Platinum for about 4 months now and love the truck. About 2 weeks ago, I clay bar/polished/waxed the truck and noticed a mark on the lower part of the driver’s door. It looked like finger marks so I assumed that my 2 year old rubbed her sticky fingers across the paint and it somehow etched it since I couldn’t remove it with the clay bar.

I have a 2914 Expedition that has the paint corrosion problem on the rear where the aluminum wasn't prepped correctly. It looks like a bubble under the paint.

Appears to me to be the top clear coat layer. Take it in for sure and register the issue with the dealer. Then see what they are going to D.P. do about it.
