On some of the other Fords, like my father's Expedition...which has the lower body moldings that cover the bottom part of the doors...in less than a year's time, I have noticed that those moldings have faded substantially. It almost looks like sun damage, it's that bad. I have seen other Expeditions with the same deal. Someone told me that it is actually because of the wax at the car wash? I am being real skeptical now, thinking of whether I want to risk taking the new Edge to the car wash, and whether I will see similar damage on the lower rocker moldings of the Edge and on the plastic door handles.
