Outside plastic trim turing white

f3003f · 07-28-2015, 11:04 AM

hi all,

I was at the dealership yesterday and asked them to take a look at these white spots. The advisor said they are from sprinkles (water damage), but I don't park near any sprinkles, and the spots are spread out and look more like air damage?

Does anyone else has these? Or know what this might be? Should this be covered under warranty? I clay barred and waxed, but that didn't help.

Thanks!

(sorry if some are hard to see, I'm referring to the many white small dots)

That looks like white wax residue and chips/road debris impacts.

Take some tire shine and sponge if it bugs you that much
