Hey Zach, Glad the dealer took care of you. I have been in the business for 17 years now and I knew that it was not fixable. Im glad you didn't spend any money on product that would not fix it. The brown spots you saw only seem to show up on plastic panels and for the most part only on white vehicles. some other colors I have seen but again mostly white. How or why this happens we don;t know for sure. It has to be a combination of tire dressing and the dirt that sticks to the tire then the sintrifcal force sends the dirt and tire dressing onto the plastic panels and you get the brown spots. It doesn't happen on every car or truck and the dealer ends up repainting the damaged panel.therefore we can't get a sample to test to find out exactly what caused the problem. This seems to occur once a year.I'm glad they resolved your problem. Good luck on your new vehicle.

 

Thanks Waxman. You were right on the money with your diagnosis. I'm still somewhat stunned at the events of this week, but it all worked out for the best.
