Bad paint job? Need help

I bought my brand new 2017 Acura RDX. Everything look fine until my first car wash and wax. I notice there are 3 to 4 indentation of a dent but smooth to the Touch on my paint. On the rear top side of my car. I only can see the indentation by looking at a angle where the light hit just right. Is not a dent but looks like a dent. If I look straight at it is perfectly fine.

Can someone one help me? I have never seen anything like this does anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it.? Is it because from too much wax?

if it's NOT PHYSICALLY dented, then your eyes are just playing tricks on you.


since we cant PHYSICALLY see the car....you're going to have to determine, if it is an actual dent or if the lighting and smooth wax you applied is/are playing tricks on you...

Why don't you post some pictures of the problem as you see it. I know that pictures don't tell the whole story but they will surely help.

I think it will BE VERY HARD for the gentleman to capture the dents, as he said....."only in the right light." which means.....you probably wont capture them with a camera.


He needs to determine if they are physical dents...or if its just lighting playing with him

Why not go back to the dealer and show them? IMHO the QC on the RDX sucks. The factory lets a lot of stuff slip by.

interesting to see if it is indeed a dent, if it is from factory, or if it's just lighting tricks.

either way, hope you guise get to the bottom of it
