Paintwork

Six weeks or so after buying a Giulia, the clear-coat came off the front bumper and bonnet during the car's first wash (with a sponge). Mangoletsi say that because it survived being pressure-washed by them, it is nothing to do with them and that they don't cover paintwork under warranty. No theory presented as to what might have happened for the clear-coat to become friable between then and now.
