Am I in trouble?!!!!

[booker2003]

Any advice or help would be most appreciated. I've had my teg for 2 years now with no problems whatsoever, (touch wood!). But noticed while washing the roof, very small pitting on the paintwork. I owned the car in cyprus for a year before bringing it back here, and it dawned on me that it may not have been undersealed. Is it possiblr its the first signs of corrosion and is it too late to underseal it. If not how much would it cost.
Again any help would be great!

Underseal is applied under the car mate :lol:

I'd take it to TGM mate and let Willie have a gander at it. Any chance of some pics?

Was the car near the sea a lot in Cyprus? Salt in the air near the sea is a killer to cars...

Well TGM yes, but it's Tom's brother, Willie who does all the bodywork and spraying. And a mighty fine job he does as well.

[booker2003]

have you clayed the car at all???

may just be tar, or contaminants, if its raised!

Pitting is exactly that, PITIING

Ie little pits

I know this may sound daft but it sounds like tree sap, at this time of year if you've had it parked under or nearby trees the sap may have settled on the roof. It used to happen to my car when i went to my mates, it's a right twat to clean off! This is like hundreds of tiny spots and gives the paint a rough pitted feel, get some soapy water on it.
