Default rsx clearcoat chipping

my rsx is fine but today i was washing my moms brand new tl and what looked to be some lines was on the front bumper. I rubbed to take them off and clear coat chipped off, this car has about 3000 miles on it. I'm going to the dealer tomorrow to see what they think, anybody have anything similar happen to them

I dont know... I have a Ford and my mom has a new chevy monte carlo and just about anything is hard to keep little rock chips off of... it doesn't really matter who painted the car.

Be sure its not some kind of paint protection coating, I know on our RSX's we sometimes don't get it all off. Then when someone sees it it looks like a paint defect. Otherwise thay should handle it.

waxing your car will help prevent a little, but there is not much you can do about rock chips

Isn't there a paint protection on the warranty, Acura will probably fix it.
