Hi all
Was wondering if anyone else has had problems with the paint.
When the truck was purchased had dealer apply some Simonize paint protection for 500 bucks. Seagull and red berry bird crap are common around here and that stuff is nasty. I've seen the stuff stain automotive finish if left on for more than a few days. So I got this stuff applied for the guarantee.
The finish is now starting to look like some kind of mutant snow leopard. Looks like water spots, but really deep into the finish, like stains.
Tried everything including clay bar and had no results. I'm now convinced it's either a paint defect, or more likely, that Simonize treatment.
That treatment has a 5 year guarantee. I think we may be testing exactly what that guarantee is good for.

Any ideas what's going on here?
