Good question Bill..and will look into that next time I work on it. I would think it's on the surface because it shows up when breathing on the glass. If it were internal, then I wouldn't think warm air would affect it...? But a great theory to look into regardless. Thanks for the post.
You all bring up great points. Pros and cons on both sides. Thank you for the input. As further info, I will say:
1) the spot with the brown/red tint photo is about as big as a fist on the scoop
2) others are smaller but there are at least 8 across the scoop and at least 5 on the...
1 - Would appreciate any insight into whether to allow dealer to fix paint discoloration under warranty - and/or - replace the accessories on the car.
Here's the story:
I bought my Challenger in KC on an overcast day - less than a month ago. There were minor scratches the dealership fixed...
My friend and I worked on it together. We believe it's on the inside as the towel seems to drag as it moves over that spot. Which you would think that friction makes it come off....?
You can't see it by just looking. But it was cold when we were working on the car and your warm breath/defrost...
Mike. I appreciate the links and resources. This is a truly bizarre occurrence. Thank you for your help and knowledge. Hope this will help others who may come across something like this. IF none of this works, I'll just make up a crazy story about the ghost in the machine...
Thanks for your replies Belphegor... I am not as experienced as you; however, I would think an oil type stain would have come off with alcohol, ammonia, and/or a razor blade. We scraped it, toweled it for about 40 minutes and it just would not go away. But am going to look into the poultice and...
Thanks guys... I will look in to some of these methods. Have any of you tried any of the other 'remedie's suggested in the original post? Appreciate the insight.
That is an awesome idea. I've got my people dusting the window for prints now. While it's at the lab, I would love to try some ways of cleaning it off the glass. Just in case it's John Doe from SE7EN and he cut his prints off. Here's to hoping the lab finds a match...
Thanks for the welcome messages... And yes, the name comes from the car finish - Granite Crystal. And it is a killer ride - reading up on taking care of it. Thanks:props:
Thanks for the insight... I do wonder if it was from the factory. Can't imagine those products staining glass, but that's why I'm asking for other's experiences. Hard to imagine alcohol and razor didn't do it. I suspect it was the Fabric Guard or the L1...just not certain. Appreciate the reply.
