How wonderful. Seems like someone poured paint onto the road somewhere and we went right through it. I don't think it was paint that road crews use to paint lines as it had been raining/snowing all day and I don't think they paint in that kind of weather. The white paint was splashed onto the mud guards, some areas under the van, and along the side of the van. It took a good 2-3 hours to wash that all off. Anyways, I'm done with my little rant.

i got similar "marks/paint" on my mudguards too when i drove into a street where they were re-paving the road. It took around 2 car washes before they are fully gone. i dont think its paint since there were actually re-paving the road, the surface isnt even paved yet...

hows ur mpv so far ? any problems w/ it ?

Maybe it was some leftover concrete from the concrete roadbase?

I think the only major problem with our MPV is the lack of traction with the Michelin Hydroedges. It's great on dry and wet pavement but isn't as great on snow. Other than that, it's been great.
