Not yet, but I'll look closer.

Hope you're taking it back for a fix.

No, I have not noticed this, and I went over every square inch of the car the other day at the car wash.

Looks like a deep clean is in order. Wash, de-iron, wash, clay, wash then seal/wax.

I have a Blizzard Pearl as well. I haven't noticed any bad paint job. Although, I already have a chip on the lip part of the hood because of (maybe) a rock on the road.

First thing I did to the iQ, Clear Bra. Even if you already have one chip in the paint get it done! Toyota has never been known for high quality paint. My hood and entire front end are covered. The body kit and mirror covers will be done in the next two weeks. Best money you will spend on your iQ! I had to repaint the front end of my xB twice before I realized how important a clear bra was.

sorry for the late reply everyone i have been really busy. so i went to the dealership and they treated me like royalty. gave my rear bumper a wax job with the clay bar. it took the them about 4 times to remove it. but its gone for now. the manager of the detail dept gave me his card and let me know if it appears again to give him a call and he will take care of it. great service i recommend if your near san jose to go to capitol toyota they are good people.

Glad to hear you were able to have this issue resolved. Good karma for Capitol Scion!

Glad you got this resolved....for a minute I was worried that all Blizzard Pearls were destined to slowly evolve into Hot Lavas!!!!
