    His was just dirt in the paint. You’ll find that same stuff on any superwhite Toyota vehicle.
    He got all riled up over nothing, and they bought the truck back Bc it was a pro. They had it re-sold 15 min later.
    Poor example

    The only issue I have with my truck is when I get in 3 and 4th gear I get a small vibration at 2,000 -2,200 rpm . Thinking it either needle bearing bushing or low on trans fluid

    The "Textured Paint" on the lower panels is normal, it is there to protect against chips and scratches.

    Its swirling in the paint caused by the robots paint nozzle not being cleaned properly,my 17 has 1 small spot also,but I can live with it rather than Toyota messing it up even more.

    I’m okay claying and perhaps a bit of finishing polish, but wouldn’t go to wetsanding. It doesn’t bother me enough to risk harming what paint and clear coat I do have. I think I’ll go in the order below. I’ll report back any results, positive or negative.

    1. Clay bar
    2. Heat gun
    3. Finishing polish

    Use a cutting compound. You have a DA polisher right? Not one of those cheap 12 dollar wax spreaders from autozone. Cutting compounds work magic with the right pad.

    All set here. When I bought my last car, I added about $1000 worth of detail products to the garage so I'm good to go. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    Don't wait the longer you wait the more likely it is they'll say they can't do anything or you caused it. I'd bring it back right away

    My front fender had a burn from a polisher and they repainted my fender. But do it soon and say you didn't see it when you picked it up
