Paint Chips

[Jolliffee]

After only 10,000 I have a lot of paint chips on the bonnet; I guess these water based paints are not up to the job?

Anyone have any advice on how to get them sorted, does Chips away do a good job?

If the car is under warranty I would go and speak to your dealer about it.

Warranty - deffo take it to the dealer. IS has 11,200 on the clock and the bumper looks like it's been shot blasted. They agreed to change it under warranty without any argument.

Thanks for the tip, it still has 3 years to run so I will speak with them.

I had the same problem with my Mercedes E320 for all the time I owned it and in the end had a mate sort it once a year but he has done a runner to Spain.

My Lexus dealer is a 50 mile round trip and time is money for me so I'll see what they say. I was keen to know if this was like my Mercedes an ongoing problem or just a problem that the dealer could sort once?

Your Lexus Dealer will pick the car up for you, if it suits......

I had mine re-sprayed under warentee

When you say it has 3 years to run ... how old is the car .... as standard warranty is only 3 years?

Opps! I have had it from new, soz about 2 1/2 years left now; I only keep a car for 3 years & will change it when it runs out or when the IS350 arrives.

Well...

My car, Lexus IS200 SportCross -05, will be six months old next month and it has MORE stone chips than my previous car, a BMW 3-serie E46 -99.

My Lexus dealer nearly told me to p-ss off when I told him I wanted it fixed under warranty.

Unfortunately here in Sweden many Lexus-dealers are mainly Toyota-dealers since Lexus is a very small brand here. I have heard that customer service is much better at dealers only selling Lexus.

I hope you have more luck than I had!
