No, like I said, I baby my baby--she's never seen an auto car wash or a brush since I owned hr. This has happened gradually over the course of the last year. You can see that the paint has almost flaked off in different spots but only on the strip, not on the adjacent roof panel on either side of the strip. In the picture I can almost see the thinness of the paint on the strip compared with the surrounding panels. The passenger side is unaffected.

Thanks for the info on their removal. I gotta get this taken care of asap.

BTW, spent the afternoon washing and waxing her--the rest has a molten wet look right now.
