Yes, I wax my car all the time. Never really did the door handles and mirrors, and they are starting to fade. Gave it a couple of waxes and it made a huge diff. You just need to maintain it.

my friends RR VIII is basically pink. I have a Red Eclipse and I parked next to him one day....my paint looked RED and his was definetly faded into a hot-pink. I hear that certain colors didnt come with a real clear coat.

So my question is, should i try to claim it under warranty... or not

I have previously attempted to but the service advisor shot me down before ti got to the manager.

He blames my sprinkler system, but i find it hard to believe that a car will turn pink after 1.5 years of ownership

My DADS honda accord being a 2000 has only been washed 3 times... and its still in perfect paint condition (just needed a detail)


Anyone else have the same problems?

I would be really mad if my car started turning pink. Try to go to multiple dealers and hope one does it for you. Remember you are the customer!!! You deserve better.

my car is still ok and i clay it every 6 months and wax it more frequently, but if i had known, i bet it wouldnt have been to much to take a brand new RR and get a couple of coats of clear sprayed onto it right from the get go from a decent body shop.
