Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Paint on rear trunk lid extremely thin and peeling when car is washed. despite having 5 coats of wax on the car, washing the car (by hand with maguiar's soft car soap and soft terry toweling) peeled sections of the paint off the trunk lid. car had sat for two weeks (standard wash interval for the car due to my work schedule) outside (car is covered when first cleaned). no reason for the paint to have come off. no response to my letters from manufacturer. dealer referred me to acura customer care so no help there. *cb
