Machine Polishing...

Matt

Yeah, all those light swirls should be pretty easy to polish out.

What's the deal with the scratch on the boot? Has that been filled in with a touch up stick?

Sjdickso

I would get that checked out (second to last photo) looks like corrsion.

I think thats just a water run.. Am i right Drakey??

Drakey

The line to the right is water, the small blob & line is lifted paint and a scratch. No touch up!!!

Sjdickso

The lifted paint in the bubble deff looks like corrsion, i would get it back to Kia for a warranty paint job. before you get it detailed I seen little bubbles like that spread.

Drakey

Hopefully the paint bubble WILL be covered, Ill definately be checking next time Im in Norwich.
Just a matter of being able to get the car polished now and steer clear of hedges - HATE these damn country roads!!!!!!!

re: my paint bubble -

Took it in this morning...at first the chap at the dealers said it looked like there was dirt in the paint...couldnt have been as Ive only recently noticed it (over the last few months)
He took some more pictures and then round to their bodywork place they use....they said it looks like the start of a rust bubble.

Should hear back from them soon after the paperwork trail...but, looks like a complete boot respray. WooHoooo.

Dunno if they`ll have to take my new boot badge off!!!!!

Sjdickso

Dirt im the paint steelers at the best.

Dont let just respray it wit will come back x8 worse once they let strip the pasint off, your have two routes cut it out or replace the panel dont settle for any less.

I have been in a similar situation before.

Get the panle swapped. Paint warranty is for a reason.

Drakey

Thanks Si, I'll enquire what their plans are.

blue_se2

lol drakey thought the same

Drakey

Yeah, didn't quite know how to reply!!! LOL
Gonna phone the garage tomorrow as I wouldn't mind at least getting the car in this week when I'm on nights.

Sjdickso

Let us know how you get on with it.

Matt

Yeah, let us know what they say. Would be interesting considering the 7 year guarantee you get with your car.

Drakey

Spoke to them today, said it`s just a matter of waiting to be booked in to the body shop. . . and that they were awaiting parts???

Parts I asked them??? ... "yeah the badges" !!!!

Ive asked if they could not be fitted lol, but it looks like Ill have to order a new rear badge if I don`t have the original Kia one put back on.

Think I may go for PRO-CEED rather than DRAKEY tho???????????????????????????? Dunno

blue_se2

get a kia badge made but in different colours and font

Sjdickso

So are they replacing the whole lot or just rubbing it back and spraying it?

Drakey

I believe it will be a full boot respray
