Paint issues

Are you sure it's not iron deposits from the rail transport?
Many have reported having to clay the paint after delivery.

I think the ‘’rail dust rust’’ shows a lot on white.

Never used the iron remover(yet) but a lil time with a clay bar will erase the rust spots. Detailing clay can do some amazing things on many applications. The meguiars clay kit is reasonably priced and easily found. I've been using clay on the fleet for 10+yrs and it's my favorite detailing tool.

It's an aluminum hood, so it's not rust. Could be corrosion or a bad repair job.

I’m thinking corrosion. My hood used to fill up with water through the hood badges and pour out of the weep holes by the windshield, never thought I’d have a problem like this on an aluminum hood.

That is corrosion from the aluminum hood. Years ago ford had issues with this on a lot of the mustangs. Those little bubbles will get bigger and bigger and eventually the paint will peel in that area.

I sent the dealer pictures and they were filling a claim to see if it would be covered. There is no damage in the area so I hope they cover it.

The dealer sent in the pictures and it was approved for a repair. I will be dropping it off in a week for the repair and the 3 open recalls.
Fingers crossed it comes back flawless.

The dealer still has my truck. I am not impressed with the dealer though. They have had my truck for over a month. Called me a couple times to say it was done when it wasn’t. The last time they called there was swirl marks where they did the repair. The service manager took it back to their detail department and they buffed my dirty hood without cleaning it. Now there is fine swirl marks on the entire hood. They have had it for over a week since then. Hope they get these swirl marks out before they call me again.
Never going there again.
