I took my Trackhawk straight to a paint treatment company to do the vehicle preparation instead of having the dealership do it. Since getting it back from the paint treatment place I've noticed small kinks in the hood at the windshield edge...located roughly where the driver and passenger look out the windshield. At this point I really have no way of knowing if those kinks were there upon delivery, or if they happened at the paint treatment place. Either way I think I'm screwed. I really don't know how I didn't notice this when I picked it up from the paint treatment.
Anyway, do any of you guys have an educated guess as to how the kinks were made in the hood? I think it's either that they removed the hood when they did the XPEL or the ceramic coating and that process somehow put stresses on the hood, or the kinks were there already upon delivery...in the delivery scenario maybe from a freight covering, or even somehow left the plant like that...I don't know.
I've attached photos that kinda show the kinks on the driver side...that side is worse than the passenger side, but if I run my fingers along the whole edge of the hood I can feel 4 distinct imperfections (2 on each side).
