Spent about 5 hours today claying the car and as a result ended up spending awful amount of time up close to it - which I am regretting now. Of all the cars I have owned and driven and seen, I don't think I have ever seen such a shitty paint job.
- Every single corner/tip of my trunk lid (that's all 4 corners) have paint chipped off. It's like the paint "dripped" from the tips and froze and then chipped off leaving bare metal.
- When the trunk is open, if you look closely to the weld points of the trunk opening (this is on the body of the car, not the trunk lid, it's basically where all the water drips into), you can see there are 2-3 areas where 3-4 inches long cracks have formed on the paint.
- This is most likely because of the alignment of my trunk, but basically I realized that from the rubbing of the trunk to the bumper (where it closes), there is a 4-5 inch x 1 inch gigantic scratch/paint chipping
- The intake's rubber cover thing has caused the hood's paint to peel off due to heat. I mean what kind of fucking paint did they use for it to peel off because of the warm plastic? Did they just steal crayola's paint solution and mixed it with theirs? This is just mind boggling.
- Both of my doors where have paint chips right by the opening, by the side mirrors/hinge side possibly from them seating the doors in the assembly line. Possibly they put the doors on the car, and when they closed the door, paint rubbed and chipped off, and then they aligned it.
- I also found 3 random half a mm size paint chips in the rear fenders and trunk. It looks like the paint is so thin, if you so much hit a butterfly on the road, it chips.
I wasn't going to do the xpel for the rest of the car for $2500 (which is why I spent 5 hours today claying and will do sealant tomorrow) after everyone in the forum strongly advising against it plus I wanted to save some money, but now I am genuinely worried. How the hell will this paint hold up in 2, 3, 4, 10 years..... In snow/winter.....
Jesus, seriously I am pissed.
