Paint issue faded white spot

[Oneand0]

Just checking to see if anyone else has had a brand new paint issue, on a Lightning, or any new car from Ford. I just finished washing my car and noticed a while spot inside the paint on the right rear bumper. It looks like it’s turning milky. No scrape, or dent, it’s smooth and didn’t notice it until now.

I have a paint defect on the top bed rail of the truck where some paint bubbled up and popped off. Fortunately, it will be covered up with LineX

So, was it a brand new Lightning and in the bed, and you didn’t order any liner with it? Just curious, because I haven’t seen any paint issues yet. It feels like mine is the first to be posted. Thanks!

It looks like something rubbed up against it. You could try some rubbing compound to see if it comes out

Pictures doesn’t do it justice. My salesman is going to talk to the GSM and I’ll be bringing it in for them to look at. It really does look like something rubbed up against it in the pictures, but after doing my normal wash and dry, there’s absolutely no scrape on the surface, or transfer of any paint, or transfer of any substance whatsoever. It’s completely smooth like the paint. It’s baffling me, because I was a cop for almost 20 years and have seen a lot of accidents and even know what clothing transfer looks like. This is definitely from within the paint. Hopefully they take care of it.

Maybe mold?

If it's under the clear, then it is a manufacturing defect. The body shop at the dealer will remove the bumper endcap and have it painted in a day or two. Easy job.

They are really good there at my dealership. Once they see it’s not from the outside, I’m guessing it will be easy. I just have no experience with manufacture paint defects.
