Just for the record....in case you need a head count.

To make sure we're talking about the same point on the car.....I had the problem between the bumper and the fender (both sides), at the point between the headlamp and the hood. I pointed it to the service manager ("Ummmm, haven't seen that before"), but later had the bumper replaced anyway, after being pushed under the back of a pickup. Problem solved!

My theory is that it's due to the uneven flexing of the bodywork when driving over rough road surfaces, plus the fact that the bumper and fender are of dissimilar materials. Maybe installing a strut bar is the best cure for this problem.

Does it happen to all colors? I've seen posts in this thread for Red and White.

What about black and silver?

What are you using for exterior finish care? Is it a caraunaba wax or synthetic like finish first or zaino bros?

Or is it just a wear thing between the bumper and the front of the car?

I have not seen it. I was using Mequiars pro stuff until this past weekend, when I applied my first 2 coats of zaino...
