Stupid industrial fallout

[Cliff8928]

I know people who've had some good luck with the paint cleaning clay for this.

Man that’s what GM calls rail dust or something like that. Its from when that transport the cars by train and the dust eats in to the paint it will cause little rust spots. That is cover under GM's under corrosion warrantee 6/60 for rust. They are just being A-holes. Call GM.
Is it just the back or is it all over.

Ok this might be of help to you. Its in the users manual. It should solve your problems.

"Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can creat a chemical fallout. Airborn pollutants can fall upon and attack painted surfaces on your vehicle. This damage can take two forms: blochy, ringlet-shaped discoloration, and small irregular dark spots etched into the paint surface.
Although no defect in the paint job causes this, Oldsmobile will repair, at no charge to the owner, the surfaces of new vehicals damaged by this fallout condition within 12 months or 12,000 miles (20000 km) of purchase, whicher comes first."

Found on page 6-58 of the manual. Goodluck.

damn, i'm over the km for that

i thought you said she was 11 months old?
take her back to the dealer and wave that page in there faces.

Cliff was dead on. Use a clay bar (~$10 - $15) like blue magic before you try anything else. You need to remove the contaminants before you buff anything.

Crolero - 12mo or 20km whichever comes FIRST. He's up to 30km already so he's out of luck unless someone is in a really good mood.

head over to www.detailcity.com and ask the guys there for a little help. I'm sure the first thing they will tell you to do is clay and then polish (with a random orbital buffer like the porter cable). If you get the PC, look at spending about $200USD for the buffer + pads + polishing supplies. You can definitely fix this yourself, but ask there for help first.

or you can go to autozone and buy some Touch of paint in the color of your car and just clean the spot and paint over it, its what i use when i get litting dings in the front of my car so i just touch it up. they have almost every color that GM made. i found bronzemist so it shouldnt be hard to find "GM black"

This poop just started happening to my car not to long ago and now i'm in my 12 month and i just past 12000 miles, is there anyway i still can get them to fix it?? Need reply fast going back to the dealer later today

raise hell and see if it'll work. its worth a try. gl

Is this covered under any section of comprehensive in an insurance policy? Just curious, I know someone who had their car painted from industrial fallout and the insurance covered it.

Only way to find that out is to ask your insurance agent.
