Default Paint help

I was wondering if anybody has had any problems with the paint behind the front tires and in front of the rear. It looks like it has been sand blasted. It is still smooth to the touch in these places. I was wondering if I could use a product to help with this situation. Or do I need to have it painted. thaks for the help

I suggest that you get a porter cable polisher (7424), use 3M Finesse it to correct the paint, follow this with an application of 3M Machine Glaze, then a layer of sealant of your choice followed by a good carnuba wax.

This will definately do the trick, you'll be amazed!
