I really don’t think they thought this through. I guess they need all the extra cash they need to deal with the diesel thing.

Can’t wait to get “no ragrets” on the 2005 rental spec focus.

Can we get Svend on this? It seems to me like a good polishing would quickly shine it up and away...

No, I’m thinking this is more like laser etching into the paint level, so it would be under the clearcoat.

Maybe a subtle dickbutt on the bumper or something.

“and then uses a special powder to basically sandblast the paint, roughening the surface of the clear coat.” Sounds awful lot like just sandblasting with fine media to me :(
