i clay my rally red about once a month, and i wash and NXT it once every 2-3 wks.


ive never had a problem with red coming off on my microfibers...

just keep the car sealed with a polymer based synthetic wax in between washes, it will block the UV rays, stop it from fading and preventing contaminants to stick to it when u do get around washing it, hand wash it dont take it to high pressure washes, or automated car washes.

 

The GG paint on the MR is crap too, when i took out the factory tailights the corner of the tail light hit the rear fender and the paint chipped off. Another time I door dinged my friends POS honda just laying my door out there and the painted chipped right off the lip of the door. Mitsubishi paints sucks big time.

 

Should i take it to the dealer? Most likely they will try to blame it on me and say that i polished it or some other lame excuse not to cover it!

 

Yes you should go to the dealer. If it is a ligit problem that wasn't caused by you they should cover it. If they give you the run around ask to speak to a Mitsu rep.

 

Whats the paint cover warranty terms? Do u know?

 

I'm not sure on your 2003 on my 05 full warranty is for 5 years.

 

I would definately take it to the dealership.

 

when my paint fades im going to white. i love weightless white. But yeah, i dont wanna pay for that! **** you mitsu and ur paint.

 

Good work MMC!!!!!!!

 

 

People on here have claimed that certain colors don't have clear coats from the factory (ie, red like in your case). I was concerned about that with my yellow, so I asked at the dealership and my service guy was like, "uhm actually they all have clear coats, that's a rumor. All cars have clear coats from the factory." So, I don't know what to make of it anymore.

 

Red doenst have it, at least its mixed with the paint in a single stage, not like other colors where they have a separate clear coat stage.
