[BrockDawk]

Anyone seen this before?

Can’t get your photos open. Can you post in a more forum friendly manner?

I remember a similar thread. Sorry, I cannot find it and I really don’t recall the solution/outcome.

The photo shows up for me but I have no idea as to the issue. Definitely see the splotches.

I was hoping it was dried wax but a clean, clay bar, and spray wax didn’t do anything to it.

I think your issue is similar to the paint issue I just had Tesla fix. I attached a photo of the spot I found on my M3 (it can be hard to see, but it's a hazy circle next to my door handle).

I was told at the SC (and read on a post on this site) that it's due to wet sand marks (not entirely sure what that means). My service rep said it was an easy fix and sure enough, it came right out. I attached a photo with the fix.

Just a heads up: I was told by Tesla that they're getting strict on paint issues and will generally only fix these issues within 100 miles after delivery. I had over 1,900 on mine when I found the issue and they still fixed it when I sent them photos (I'm sure they new it was an issue they caused, not me, when they seen the pics).

Take it to Tesla and have them fix it. If they give you push back, push right back (worked for me).

@OCTrojan,

How’d they fix it? Polished/Buffed it out?

They buffed it out according to my Service Rep. They were also kind enough to buff out two scratches I got from a random shopping cart.

Wonder if this is something mobile repair can do. That’s what they scheduled for me. lol

Just take a DA polisher to it... looks pretty cut and dry that it is excessive swirling.

I have had similar spots on my passenger door. Pointed them when i was picking up my car. they fixed it pretty quickly.
