True, I am sure this can fixed, but I need an answer as to why this is happening to low mileage 3 year old car in to be known as one of the mildest climate on earth, no salt on our roads during winter, the temperatures always average, 10c in winter, 15 to 20 if lucky during summer.
I need to get down to the cause, is only down to bad paint job from factory, because if down to other factors, the new applied paint may not last a 2nd time around, just like 1st time.
