[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 989943, member: 52972"] Wolf, Think what you want, but I think your are in denial. All of my rail-dust damage was also on the hood which caused me some concern too. However, if you don't know what it is, or how it got there, you cannot assume that it would have to be all over the vehicle and all over the other vehicles. It could have been some metal fragments that blew off of a passing truck....The fact that you have another vehicle without the same damage would indicate to me that it was a fluke that one day that vehicle just happened to be near or passed by some source of airborne metal particles...It may have actually been while stopped at a railroad crossing and that train just happened to be kicking up some rail dust that just made it to the hood of your vehicle. Rail dust is not covered by your warranty, and I suspect that your dealer will say it's rail dust damage. If he is a good dealer he may fix it like my dealer did, but he is not bound by the warranty to fix damaged paint that is not a factory defect...and I don't think your paint problem is a factory defect. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
