Hello!
Got my FL5 around week and half ago but noticed some sort of peeling going around the edge of the roof on both sides of the car.... it's garage kept and can't imagine it to be the clear coat peeling already... anyone else notice something like this?

Appears to be left over residue from paint protectant film that is used on roof and hood of car during shipping. My roof had a ton and I still don’t think after going to detailer for ceramic that it was all removed. Guess I can live with it on a white car as it’s hard to see.

Oh damn didn't know that it was actual film, had thought it was some sort of water soluble substance when it comes from manu. Thanks for the reassurance...

It's leftover sprayed on film that's still on your car.

Around the edges was hard to get off on a few spots on my car. My friend who does detailing helped me and he used a product called TarX which with a nice microfiber was able to get off the stubborn spots.

The spots you are showing it are definitely where the edge was on mine. About 1" from the sill.

Gotcha, will look at getting that. Thank you!

As others have said its the sticky residue. I had the same problem, but it was all on the hood (I have pictures if you want to see them) I took it back to the dealership and they took it off.
