    The only time mine has ever looked like that was when I am off road going through a frame twister. One tire stuffed in the front and the opposing tire stuffed in the rear. I don’t see how a touchless carwash could do that unless that is a bumper cover? I have the chrome bumper ends.

    Take it back to the dealer. Doubt it was carwash. But for future reference, automated car washes are awful for paint

    Mine is a little uneven as well, but not nearly that bad. I bought mine brand new and never figured out why it was a little off. I didn't want the dealer messing with it, so I just left it as-is. Yours is definitely worth looking into.

    I've used the wash myself a few times but have not had this type of result. Like others have said, take back to Dealer for inspection. let us know what happens.

    Easy to miss at first on a Blaaaaack tunny...until you hand wash. They usually come off in a drive thru car wash Even touchless ones.. ie... water pressure..
