Replying to: terceltom (Oct 01, 2008 8:59 pm) Please understand. I am not comparing my Toyota to some perfect car. I am comparing it to 35 years of car ownership. I have owned many Toyotas and own 3 right now. If I were to get tar on my 09 Corolla, I would expect it to come off in the same way it has on all the others. I expect chips, but not at a much higher rate than I expect from my experience of driving in the same town 35 years. And I wouldn't expect people to have to buy a black car when they have been able to own white ones without problems in the past. Replies to this message: terceltom (Oct 02, 2008 9:05 pm)

It drove a lot better, had more zip, while I thought the Toyota drove like a Granny's car. In the end the wife and daughter prevailed over the ever-smart, skirt-wearing dad.

Replying to: terceltom (Sep 22, 2008 9:30 am) haha I tried on many occasions to have them simply repair (repaint) my vehicle, and they refuse. I like, almost love, the car except for this issue, and they insultingly unwilling to help.

Replying to: mjfpilot (Oct 01, 2008 4:02 pm) Those little brown spots you keep referring to is probably the primer showing through the paint not a special type of tar. ( Try another body repair shop ) . And by the way rubbing a panel with a gasoline soaked cloth is a LOT different than spilling gas on the panel when you fill up, and if or when this does happen you are suppose to wash it off. ( use the squeegee used for the windshield ). Replies to this message: imidazol97 (Oct 02, 2008 1:53 pm) kenym (Oct 02, 2008 3:09 pm)

Replying to: kenym (Oct 02, 2008 12:44 pm) >rubbing a panel with a gasoline soaked cloth is a LOT different than spilling gas   How? It's gasoline on clearcoat which is supposed to be exceedingly resistant to permeation.   >use the squeegee used for the windshield   That is not good. I quit using gas station squeegees because of people doing that. it leaves an oil smear on the windshield you clean with the water and the squeegee. It may not be apparent when doing the windshield but it will be when it starts to rain and the windshield will only smear. Replies to this message: kenym (Oct 02, 2008 3:09 pm)

It's gasoline on clearcoat which is supposed to be exceedingly resistant to permeation.   Same way as if you get paint on your hands. Spill a little gas on your hands and it doesn't do much. However if you rub your hands with a rag with gas on it the paint is removed. Like you said it is still gasoline isn't it? I totally agree with you on not using the squeegee on your windshield. However that wasn't my point. I was just pointing out one way to get the gasoline off the paint.

Replying to: slowlearner1 (Oct 02, 2008 6:38 am) No I wouldn't want all black cars either but you gotta admit if he's attracting tar on twelve cars he has owned black would be a great idea. Look at all of the hassle he would have saved.

Replying to: mjfpilot (Sep 26, 2008 2:58 pm) I have a corolla 09 less than 2 months now with 6 chips on it. Yes, it is ridiculous that when you go to remove tar the paint is coming off - Toyota should be giving us a new paint job. What happening to that class action suit that at least 60 people up on. That is not normal to have a new car and have paint come off - me 96 corolla white never had and still does not have that problem, and I have taken tar off of it for years. What is happening with the class action lawsuit?? Replies to this message: terceltom (Oct 06, 2008 8:32 pm) white3 (Oct 14, 2008 6:04 am) pat (Oct 14, 2008 11:22 am)
