11. Edge picked up from undercoaters by lot personel, no one thinks to check if it is 100% dry before driving off in the pouring rain: Disaster :sing_rain::banghead:

12. They are still cleaning the Edge up, the yellow stains were down the side of the Edge, but I got there after they started to clean it up

13. May 5, 2011 Pick up Cancelled

14. Dealer said they will make it right

 

To sum it up all i can see now is the yellow stains on the white paint, I hope it my imagination :hammer_self:

We’re in TX. didn’t even know the dealers still offered undercoating.

 

I may look into this.

Long ago we would have it done, NOT for corrosion but for noise deadening.

 

Good Luck

Maybe our resident detail specialist will have good news.

Stoner's Tarminator will get the undercoating off. Follow up with a soft clay bar. Use Duragloss 501 either by hand or a medium pad on a DA and your white paint will jump and glow. DG 501 is incredible on white paint! I would not trust the dealer to do another damned thing to it personally. They've already proven they're inept.
