After washing my 2002 ford explorer, I saw a bubble on the bottom left corner on the hood. Looking at it closely, it looks like rust is forming underneath the paint. I'm positive its rust because every year it gets a little bigger and more bumpy. How the hell did it get there? I have no clue!? I never bothered to get a quote from a repair shop or go to the dealer. I know repairing this problem will put a dent in my pocket and don't wanna waste my time at the dealer. My opinion, Ford quality sucks.

LITTLE CIRCLES OR BUBBLES UNDERNEATH THE FINISH COAT. YOU CAN NOT FEEL THEM, YOU CAN ONLY SEE THEM.
