Lacquer peeling?

(1/3) > >>

TANNER:
I have noticed the top corner of my wing where it meets the bonnet on the passenger side (hope I have explained that ok!) has started to have Lacquer peel. Ive never had this on any previous cars and are worrying it can only get worse?

What can be done to stop this? i have been looking at JPC's detailing work which looks like miracle work to me! Could detailing prevent this getting worse or is it going to take some spray work to correct it?

Any advice appreciated as I plan on keeping the car for a good few years and want it up to my usual shiny standard!
will try and get a pic of this tomorrow.

Cheers
Jon

dru:
had the same prob on back bumper got it done under warranty car is 06 56plate

TANNER:
Thanks Dru, was this after the 3 year warranty was up?
I will chance it and see what they say after work, shouldn't be peeling on a 5yr old car.

Richn83:
The paint and body work will have a longer warranty might be worth giving the manual a read, but it will be subject to the relevant inspections having been carried out and obviously it not being subject to self inflicted damage, so worth reading up then visiting the dealers.

Frodo-anni:
If im right then the bodywork warranty is for 12 years on VW. Certain criteria is to be met for valid claims

- Paintwork is all original
- Service is history is all main dealer

The dealer will arrange a paintwork inspection to confirm original paintwork then look at the matter further.

Are you the original owner?
