I don't want the collision place to think I'm crazy when I take my car tomorrow so they can tell me if I should worry..... however!
Upon walking near my car on a sunny say, I noticed this weird, waxy-like substance, about 6 inches in length on the edge of my door (example picture attached of where I saw it). I freaked out and thought there was some sort of defect with the clear coat, nevertheless, I have no idea how strong clear coat is, or if it's even capable of failing in a car that's 2 months old, so keep that in mind.
I then took my finger nail, and tried to scrape it off. I noticed that it came off..... but the entire 6 inch space of where the stuff was it's slightly rougher than the rest of the door's edge. The rest of the door's edge is SMOOTH like a baby's bottom, until you get to that section.
I'm freaking out because this car is leased... and I don't want that little spot to rust out or something and cost me a million dollars in fines haha. So, what we're looking at is pretty much invisible to the naked eye now that I used my finger nail to scrape off.... but you can feel the difference. I also noticed that a very tiny microscopic amount of blue came out with it (my car is blue, so I'm freaking out!) I then kept telling myself that there is no way in hell a 60 day old car has this weird issue wrong with it? Am I losing my mind? I'm not sure what the collision place will tell me (it's a Toyota collision repair place) they buffed out a scratch on my old Prius for free when I bought it new, they're really helpful.
It seems that every car I get, (I've had three), weird stuff happens with the paint. The first car I bought had some sort of small defect under the clear coat on the section of the passenger door, probably from a rock LOL. Second car had a tiny piece of paint chip off the side of the door, probably due to a rock). I mean come on.
Even if this issue won't turn into anything on lease end, I still want this car to look brilliant because I love keeping my stuff ins perfection condition. I've had anxiety all week! Is this something I should be worrying about?
Please help! Lol
