Round gray spots in my paint
Okay, so you all know about my paint chips, but that's not the problem this time.
Well for the past 5 weeks my cable modem has been not working so every week I washed and waxed my car twice. And sunday after washing my car I noticed these patches of gray circle patches about 4 inches wide on my car. One on the trunk, one one the hood, one on my side panel behind my drivers side door. and also when I openen my passenger side door theres 1 inch paint line going down, as if the car just got painted and it was dripping down. about 1/8 above the normal paint.
I waxed the living hell out of the patches but was unsuccessful.
you really can't tell unless you get up real close after u wax it but I know its there.
Should I go to acura and bitch? or what?

Twice I Zainoed wearing polarized sunglasses. On both occasions I noticed a 4-5 inch rectangular gray area on the roof in the same spot. The paint in that spot IS different. No doubt about it, its a defect. I have a white car and the area is only visible when polarized. So I thought maybe Nova.........</font>

I notice the greyish (actually just shines darker white) area when its VERY sunny and right after a wax and only wearing my polarized shades. It's very weird. I cannot see it at all if those conditions aren't met.

This is some funny stuff. While I went out to lunch I put my sunglasses on and took a look. WHAT DA YA KNOW!!! the gray patches were visiable.
If it is a defect what am I going to tell the dealer. "hey put these sun glasses on and take a look at my paint?"

LOL....great pict soopa.
Nova, yeah your right. There is a bit of a problem about telling your dealerships service guy to try on glasses so he can see those strange grey areas.
But you might get him to do it if you do this. You know there are some people who look crazy because when they're talking to you they focus their eyes ABOVE YOUR HEAD and not on your eyes. You know the type, they have eyes like a dead fish or some mannequin. Well when you go to the dealer you might try telling him to look for those grey areas with your eyes focused somewhere ABOVE his head. Let them think you're the baddest section eight that has ever been. Tell him that you feel the same way about your dealership the way Timothy McVeigh felt about the FBI. Hey maybe they'll toss in a free oil change.

actually in asian culture its not good to look at someones eye directly. (disrespect, or wanting to fight) if u look at someone directly in the eye. Sometimes its Really hard for me so when someone talks to me I usually look at them for a split second and then look right below there eye or somewhere else. Just feel uncomfortable staring at someones eyes constantly.
