This was here when I took ownership. It's on the top of the right front fender flare. I thought it was more just a surface issue but I haven't been able to buff it out with microfiber and detail spray. I tried to vary the exposure between these two photos.

Haven't tried taking clay to it yet. I so want black flares! These things should be designed to take damage, not look pretty!

Try a rubbing compound. Looks like it might have been sanded to remove a paint defect and wasn't fully polished out.

If it was there when you took ownership, you should bring it to the attention of the dealership.

I had a paint issue that was corrected by the dealer's body shop.

NO NO - don’t touch it with rubbing compound. Let the dealer’s body shop address....or use a very mild polish like Mequires #7

if it's under the clear coat you can't buff it out or rub it out with compound or anything.

Thanks! It's pearl coat, the Snazzleberry.

I'd actually preferer getting black fender flares but they aren't an option on the Sahara.
