I knocked one of the doors (my fault) and the paint chipped off, what I thought, was quite easily.
Maybe I am just spoilt.

it has all little orange dots that look a bit like rust, seems like something has gotten onto the paint, it's on my bonnet, the top edge of both doors etc.
Try Turtle Wax Polish... It is exceptionally good at removing unexpected marks (fruit bat crap for me) on paintworkSilverfox1111 wrote:As to the spots that look like rust. Now think they are from tree or bug droppings. Originally i thought it was rust but after seeing the same spots on my canopy (toyota, plastic of some sort) it can't be.
Tried cleaning with a bug & tar remover but that was still requiring a lot of rubbing as the marks are pretty stubborn.
Was suggested that a couple of capfulls of kerosene in a bucket of water would work. Has anyone tried this yet?

Since purchasing it has been parked in my yard each day and he only takes it out on Saturday afternoons and Sundays as he does not want to park it at his place of work.
Today he took it to be professionally cleaned and washed with the chemicals provided by Toyota and was informed of rust spot appearing through the paint. On further examination, I found a very bad rust spot on the roof just above the door, various rust spots coming through the paintwork around the vehicle and the chassis actually has flaking rust spot, plus others.
He took it to Toyota and the lady was very nasty to him saying that he should have has rust prevention treatment, This is rubbish as I have had my vehicle fro over 12 years, no rust treatment and no rust to date.
Has anyone else found this? If you have a new Hilux?
Please check your vehicle.
