Are you sure its the paint. It sould be this black plastic type residue that somehow hangs in all the edges. I've heard its a silocone coating on the car. But make sure its the paint coming off because i thought my paint was peeling until i scraped at the plastic like substance and it came off.

Did you buy the car brand new? I could have had a crappy repaint job on it. Check for the signs of a repaint job.

yea, i bought brand new (7 miles on it) well NOW that i think of it, if its that hard for the paint to come off.... it COULD be wax build-up... my dad did it last but.. it didnt come off, at all easy anyway), im try clay on it to see if that is it.... but yea, its does seem like it OCULD be wax, i thought of that before, but rubbed it, and it does seem lke the paint is slowly coming off....

Yeah the stuff i'm talking about is not at all easy to get off. Takes lots of careful scrubbing.

Which edges is it coming off of? If it's around the wheel wells, you might want to ask yourself whether or not you use any kind of acid based wheel cleaners. These and paint do not mix well at all.

coming off on:

gass tank thingy edge..(the cirle the top pops in and out to fill up

the back bumper some....

along the part where the side mirrors meet the car... few other spot.. and above the window on the roof... along the edge (runs along the window) theres bumps under the paint... thatll come off sooner or later...

they all arnt a big deal... i just look at every little detail and end up magnifing them by 1000x

well thx
cory

ps- never used acid wheel cleaner, only soap and hard scrubbing
