The way the rust is sitting..it doesn't seem like a rock chip incident; maybe a paint deformity(?)

I'm pretty close to my Nissan guys..so I'm sure they'll help me out.

14 months old?!! talking about my 3 days old. Pick her up on Sat., snow on Sunday, car got dirtied. Drove to work on Monday, got a car wash after work and realize i got a dent by the driver door toward the rear bender. paint got rip off roughly smaller than the size of a dime. Got so mad, i don't think it was the car wash causing it, I think someone is dent my door (d#$mm whoever!!), can't confirm it. I'm so pissed now

P.S: i'm posting my pic tomorrow so you all can see...any suggestion how to cover that?

Thanks

Sometimes crap on your car looks like rust, but infact, they're just... Crap on ur car...
I Noticed orange-ish red spots (super tiny, but definitely protruding outof the body) on my driverside AND passenger side door when I was washing my car and after a good scrubbing, polishing, wax, they went away. I thought they were rust in the begining too!

Dude. If you get a chip in the paint, you have to use touch-up paint before it rusts. If you don't, and it rusts...that's your fault. Why should the warranty cover it? Do you expect them to fix door dings, too?
