Most Fragile Car I've Ever Owned!

SchoolyZ · 05-29-2010, 11:14 AM

Sorry if it seems like I'm complaining guys, but almost every time I go to wash my car, I find some new imperfection. For instance, I just found a scratch on the top of the trunk lid (no clue how it got there) and another blemish on the hood. It's just very frustrating. I'm almost considering taking it to a professional to touch up everything and then installing the clear bra. I've heard some mixed results about the bra though.

Well there is your problem! Washing the car, remember 5 feet away everything looks perfect... PROBLEM SOLVED!!

I have the darker 40th graphite paint and its done pretty well considerinng the car has 1300 miles on it. The front bumper tho is rediculous. So many impact marks. Thankfully the hood and fenders are still good. I have two chips on the pass fender where it angles to the hood about half way between windshield and headlight. No idea how they got there. I think i took delivery with it like that but I dont have a leg to stand on since I dove it away without noticing or saying anything.

You def aren't the only one man. Like others have said, there have been many threads opened regarding this. Just one of those things you have to live with whenyou have this car I guess.

A tip! On the freeway travelling at 100km/h you should drive approx 50 metres or so back from the front car to minimise chips.

For us in the US that is about 60 MPH.
