MY baby!!!

Shieeeeet . . I was washing my car with a power washer and when I got to the front bumper and got in close to get some ofl the splattered bugs a peice of paint about the size of a quarter rolled up and fell off. Now I have this ugly black spot on the front bumper. This really pisses me off. Is this covered under warranty?? I mean it's not like I got in an accident, it literally washed off. That to me sounds like a defective paint job. . Any opinions?? Lemme know thanks..

if your lucky, they will touch it up for you right then and there. when i first got my car i had the same problem, but it wasn't caused by a power washer, they were cool enough to take care of that for me.

Go to the Honda dealer but noit with a bad attitude. that will just **** them off start with a good attitude and expalin that you were washing your car NOT powerwashing and it bubbled up and came off try to make it sound as much as a bad paint job as possible and it should be covered if not then show the bad attitude

What dragon said...techinically it was a bad paintjob anyway but just tell them you were scrubing you car with a sponge not power washing. They frown on that.

Yeah take it into the dealer and tell them what happened, but dont take a bad attitude with you man, it wont help anyone, if they refuse to help you or start acting like a bunch of @sses then bring the attitude.

If you can pull off the sponge wash idea they would be stupid and a$$holes for not fixing it. If that happened to me and I REALLY had used a spong and they didnt fix it I would never take my business there again!
