I was applying wax onto my car today and noticed that
the pad turned bluish which is the color of my max
so the paint must be coming off rite? but the part
that i applied the wax doesn't look like the paint
faded off....and also the front bumper gets these spots where
it's wet and the spots stays there even if i wipe it dry.
the spots are a light blue..different from
the car but after awhile about 10 mins the color changes
bak to normal.....the color of my car is lakeshore blue..it's
like a blue mixed with silver

does this happen to anyone elses max??

 

are you using wax, or a compound?

 

What the hell are those spots on the front bumper? I have the same problem. It won't come off. Any suggestions? It looks like water spots soaked into the paint and dont want to come off.

 

My bumpers' paint is totally darker than my body's paint....
I wonder why...... it look so annoying, especially during day light.....
NISSAN Cheap paint?? sucks huh??

anyway to fix it? can i buff or wax it? to make the color the same?

 

If the bumper color is slightly a different color wouldnt that mean that bumper was not factory? Do a carfax report.

 

i used meguiar's wax...does nissan know about
the paint problem? u think if we can get enough
complaints that they'll do a paint recall?

 

My mother leased a white Maxima SE in 98, she just returned it in October, but about 2 months after she got it we started noticing that the front and rear bumpers did not match the body color exactly. The body was super white while the bumpers were almost pearl white. It wasnt my car but it still ****ed me off to look at it. It made it look so cheap and redone, like a body shop did a bad job or something. She went to the deal with the problem and they told her that it is very common on white Maximas for this to occur. They said the same paint is used but that on the bumpers the color change is normal. I demanded they replace them but they said there was nothing they could do since it was a normal problem. Guess its their ****ty paint or something. I dont know about the water spots, that sounds crappy, just wanted to shed some light on the color difference.

 

YES!, i did carfax report before i bought the car... fully detail...
the car is clean, never been wreck.... at least doesn't feel like it... and it's not only 1 bumper.....
both bumper front and rear are darker than the body color.....
