    Mazda 3 Paint

    Mazda Mazda Advice Mazda 3 Mazda 3 Advice Mazda 3 2009
    I noticed other comments on the poor quality paint on the Mazda 3. I have a 2009 Mazda 3, which seems to have a cloudy clear coat and the clear coat appears to be separating from the paint underneath. I've attempted to lodge a warranty claim with Mazda, but they are telling me it's my fault for having the car buffed. But the car has not been buffed and looking at other comments about the Mazda paintwork it would seem to be of very poor quality. Any suggestions on getting Mazda to take responsibility for their product?

    Get a paint specialist to inspect the paint on your car and give you a report on his findings. Assuming the report confirms your claim that the paint is dodgy go back to Mazda and lodge a warranty claim.
