Paint Problems
After a winter's worth of auto car washes I noticed paint loss on rear bumper right behind rear wheel. The paint just peeled of in a 3" by 8" strip....OUCH....I also noticed a quarter sized spot on the trunk that looks like the paint just bubbled up and peeled away. Any thoughts on why paint would bubble up in one spot? The car is always garaged.
Not looking forward to having body work done on the car, it looks great otherwise. I would hate to have it messed up.

Was the bumper ever repainted? If it was, sounds like a poor prep job before spraying the color coat. At this point, all you can do is sand it all down and repaint. For bumpers, the paint should contain the flex additive to prevent cracking.

I have a chip on my (painted at the factory) stock bumper. I always meant to get warranty service if I could but too late now. Paint just doesn't stick to plastic very well.
You have a garage and you're (destroying your car by) running it through automatic car washes?!?!?
Why does the world give people who don't give a **** bout their cars garages, and me, Mr. Exterior Care, hasn't ever had a garage anywhere I've ever lived....I need to buy my own house.

Sorry dude, I don't mean to insult you, but you just don't bring your car through and automatic car wash if you care about it. That's just a fundamental truth. With all the harsh soaps, the grit and dirt that is on those big hangy things, the dryers that can scratch your paint, etc. that **** is just no good for your car at all. BEST case scenario is wicked swirl marks. If the auto car wash you go to has spinning brushes...that is at least 10,000 times worse...and that would definitely explain 100% why you have had the paint peel off your bumper.
As for my "world" comment. I have tried to find an apartment with a garage ever since I left college. I have tried to make it a requirement in my searches, but have been unable to find one. Despite that, every place I have lived there have been garages on either side of me, and in some cases all the way up and down the street...mostly two families with renters of course.
