Consumer Description

I HAVE MAJOT PAINT REMOVAL ON THE ROOF OF MY HONDA PILOT. IT JUST COMES OFF IN SHEETS WHEN WE ARE DRIVING. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID WE DIDN'T WAX THE CAR ENOUGH AND THAT WAS WHY IT WAS HAPPENING. A CAR THAT IS 5 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT HAVE PAINT COMING OFF IN SHEETS. IT IS SO BAD THAT I NOW HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE ROOF GETTING RUST BECAUSE THE PAINT COMES OFF DOWN TO THE METAL.
