Paint starting to bubble!

[Lummy33]

Finally have a nice day in PA and I washed and started to wax my nearly 1 year old JLUR and as I started to wax the hood i found this little issue. Looks like rust bubbles in the paint on the hood right above the right headlight! I know that wasnt there before winter. Doesnt appear to have any chips or damage. It's just the paint straight up bubbling. Anyone else see this happen yet?

Good news is that the hood is aluminum, and therefore can't rust

I had this happen with the Aluminum hood on my old Mustang. It was a common problem with the 06-09 Mustangs. I believe the story goes that iron filings weren't cleaned cleaned off the hoods before they were painted and then they rusted under the paint. I got a big F.U. from Ford when I tried to get them to fix it under warranty. Hopefully Jeep is better about it.

I just started researching into this as mine is doing the same thing. Opposite side and a little smaller, but Jeep is going to fix it under warranty thankfully! Hopefully you got yours resolved as well

Yeah that's pretty harsh stuff. Figured the aluminum hood would make it less likely, but corrosion is tenacious!
