Hi-
I searched the threads but could only find the peeling issue on Electric Blue trucks.

I just washed my truck by hand for the first time and noticed tons of small pits and rust spots on the front fenders, doors, back fenders and even tailgate.

This truck is garaged, is not taken off road and is washed regularly in a no touch car wash. AND it only has about 25K on it.

I am just out of warranty last month but have the gold something or other extended.

I called the deal and they basically said to point it out to the service manager next time I am in. I will be back there next month for lots of stuff....brakes, transmission fluid etc....

Has anyone else had this issue? If so, what was your experience?

Thanks for your input!

No one responded but in case anyone tagged-
The dealer looked at it and said it was rail dust.
They are using a clay bar, buffing and waxing it today!

2 different things. Rail dust comes from vehicles being transported on a train. The "dust" is from the train tracks....
