    Probably didn't clean it well or put enough layers on. Mine is holding up perfect after a year and several road/wheeling trips.

    I think it started out as a rock chip and the car wash got a hold of it a few times before I got it touched up. At that point it was beyond touch up so I'm going to start over or get a different grill. It may be possible that additional layers would have prevented the initial rock chip.

    Ahh well a scratch-wash will do that to ya... I don't pressure wash anything except the undercarriage of my truck either. Especially since my sliders are rattle canned.
