The paint along the entire length of both sides of my hood and around the headlights has started peeling. My vehicle is garaged both at home and work, and so is hardly exposed to the elements. Purchased the vehicle in late March.

Ok, nothing you can do about living near rock quarries and getting paint chips. Fine. But, as I was washing my car yesterday (July 8, 2010) w/ a hose, car-wash soap, and soft, microfiber cloths bought from a car parts store, paint along the edges of some parts of the car began peeling off as I was washing or drying the car. For the record, the hose did have a sprayer on it; but it was not really high-power. If anything, we had low-pressure water due to hose problems. And the paint came off as I used a SOFT microfiber cloth and applied only average pressure. Will try touch-up paint. Hope this won't be an ongoing problem. 1 tube touch-up paint: $7.84 plus toothpicks and rubbing alcohol to clean the areas.
