Now I got black specks all over the hood where the paint got blasted off.
I can't win today.  |

A touchless car wash blew paint off your vehicle? Was it painted with that non-toxic paint they use in kindergarten?

I don't think you can blame the car wash for that one, your paint was already starting to fail.

Paint is (was?) good but a little faded from the sun. I guessing that had a part in it. (Pic of truck)  |

Are you sure that it "blew paint off" or just imbedded dirt in imperfections?
Try to clay bar it. |

That would be like paying full price on a pedicure when you only have every other toe. |

The car wash didn't do that.
Also I see the OP is driving a ford. And as a guy that sees various paint issues daily I highly doubt that the paint job was OEM as I've never seen a newish ford with paint issues. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Never had a problem with the paint on my '05 F150. OP, do you have a close up of the damage?

You talking about all the rock chips that somebody had touched up? If so, yeah that happens.

The color matches the OEM code. There is some evidence that the box was repainted sometime in it's lifetime. |
