EXCESSIVE PAINT DULLING. APPEARS AS THOUGH NO CLEAR COAT. District Rep looked at car and states it's lack of care (not garage kept & not waxed / taken care of) Toyota says you should wax the car "at least once a month".

Apparently in 2002 the manufacturer started a "one-step" paint system for the white color (rather than coat of white color then seperate clear coat).

This car is a lease - I do not want to pay to paint the car but if I leave it at the end of the lease - I will get stuck. My next step is to contact a few body shops for "their professional opinion" and then a lemon law attorney.
