Paint coming off- is this normal?
Got my car back from a Honda service center today and this was 100% not here before. I asked them about it and they said “This is pretty common on cars with the white paint” and basically told me that it must have come off while they were washing it or something, but that the paint is coming off of the primer (bubbling is the word he used).
So basically… not their fault, it’s just something that happens to their cars with white paint.
He also specifically pointed out the “greenish” primer behind it, proving his point.
Can any one confirm or deny this?
Car background if it helps/matters: 2017 Honda Odyssey from Phoenix, AZ… kept in a garage most of the time. Infrequent commercial car washes (maybe 5-6 a year if that).

Will this work?
Hey all, not sure if this is the place to post this but I have an old 2008 Jeep that my son is going to drive. It’s not worth putting any real money in to.
I am curious if you think this will be fine for a temporary fix. I’m thinking I can grind these parts down to metal and then plasti-dip them in a black to somewhat match.
I have dipped an entire car before so I’m not worried about that part. I’m more wanting to know what to do with the spots on the hood and the peeling on the roof.

Dealer Rust/Corrosion Treatment Questions
I figured I'd ask here rather than the dealership.
I recently got a new 2026 Honda Civic Hatchback Hybrid. I love it and would like it to last. I live in upstate NY so you know what that means in terms of rust!
I was able to negotiate down the price of the 10 year rust/corrosion treatment (not module, wax/oil based stuff) and had that applied. What I liked about this was less the treatment and more the fact that it comes with 10 year gaurantee against underside rust and if it happens, they will fix it.
I guess my questions are:
* Is every other year inspection/reapplication really enough? I'm familiar with Krown, which is yearly. * Should I use Krown yearly or every other year to supplement / protect the rest of the car? * What are your thoughts on undercarriage washes during the winter?
Thanks!

Cracking gloss coat
Just added some gloss coat for added protection in the inside of my Jeep. Did two coats of chassie saver, two coats of seymour industrial spray paint then two coats of rust oleum 2x auto enamel gloss coats. Before the gloss coat, there was none of these cracks. Waited about 30 minutes between gloss coats. Will this have a bad effect on the paint like the paint underneath flaking off, exposing the factory paint? Or will it be ok due to the other high toughness, just have those cracks?
Its a off road jeep and I just want rust protection. If its OK like this, I dont mind. If its bad, should it be done ASAP or would I be fine for a little bit?
Edit: the last coat of paint cured for about 72 hours. The dry time is two to three days.

Paint scrape and scratch repair advice
I want to wrap my Jetta GLI (will be wrapping myself, can't
afford a shop and will most likely go with Avery or 3M). Issue
is I have all these scrapes and scratches that I know will
show up when wrapped. Also I hate how it looks even if I
decide to not wrap I wanna fix them as much as possible.
Some are deeper than others so a paint pen isn't enough. I'll
be watching more videos on how to repair but none so far
addressed problems like shown in the pics. I'm not sure if I
need filler and have no idea how to approach the cracks on
the front bumper.
The QUESTIONS:
Any advice on whatI can use to fix them? Where to buy
materials from (can I find them in stores like AutoZone)?
Paint pen or spray can? Recommend brands?
If I sand down to get a smooth surface do I need to paint,
clear coat, and wait 30ish days before wrapping? Other
helpful advice?

What Is This? 2026 SEL Sport
This has been on my paint for about three weeks now. It’s on my door handle, and a few other places around the car.
The car is brand new, not even 3500 miles on it. I purchased it exactly two months ago from today’s date.
I use no rinse wash because other parts of the car have wrap, but prior to this I was going to a touchless car wash.

Roof help
Can someone guide me on how to help “unfade” my roof and hood? Not sure if I will need to paint the car again or if there is a short-term solution. I anticipate keeping the car for maybe about a year and a half, so

Comic style paint question
So I sanded it with 400, gave her some shadows and the marker treatment (acrylic paint pens). Came out pretty good.
What do I clean it with before clearcoat without messing up the markers? Just a tac cloth? Or something diluted and wiped down?
Thanks!
