    :mad:my baby had a little bit of a fading going on with the front bumper when i bought it, kept wax on it and first it ddint worsen, one day i noticed it was oxidizing real bad just above left fog light and center of tag area...so i thought it would be smart to cover it up with a lebra cover until i could repaint it or find a chrome one, well i got alot of flack for it and realized myself i didnt much care for it, removed it today and almost fell out. 5 big spots of damage on the fenders, looks like burn of some sort, strange thing is the paint is glass smooth. its white in apperance and looks just like my dang psoriasis outbreaks:eek:, i tried claybaring, rubbing compound all to no avail. anyone else had a problem like this? guess its time for a paint job.

    I heard psoriasis is pretty contagious. Did you scratch yourself and then touched your bumper during your outbreak?

    Did you ever take the bra off??

    You can't put those bras on and not 'maintain' them. When it rains, you should take them off. Rain/water can get trapped underneath and ruin the paint. Especially in the summer...if there's water between the bra & paint and the hot sun on the black bra = pressure cooker.

    I used to own one many years ago on a car.....

    the bra was on for 1 week,i was told by a paint and body guy that moisture most likely was forced in to a very small pinhole in the clear, and the trapped under the bra from sun beating down on it "cooked" the moisture into the clear, trapping air in it. he told me it will only worsen and to expect the clear to start flaking around the damaged areas. great! no, psoriasis is not contagious at all, its a auto immune hereditary conditon, i didnt show ANY symptoms until my 33rd birthday. every dermo ive seen tells me theres no cure and tries to prescribe 400 dollars creams and cancer causing drugs, to only mask the symptoms, but i found that psorisain(tar gel) mixed with hydrocortizone cream works wonders, anyways..how do i post a pic from my phone?

    Heat lamp. Your paint is fogged with water trapped by the bra.
