CHECK YOUR PAINT!

I know the paint on these isn’t the best but would not expect this on a 6 month old car

Hopefully it will be covered under warranty but still shockingly poor.

That looks like it got scratched while it was being washed. It never hurts to ask for warranty coverage, but I wouldn’t think that would be covered. I’d love to be wrong.

It looks like something sharp dug across that area.

Edit,

Something like that could have happened during shipment. Unfortunately, the shipper and Ford are often liable for 72 hours, enough time for the new owner to notice. Afterwards, the claims window closes. Anything discovered after-the-fact is on the owner.

Ceramic coat

Ceramic coat will 100% not do anything useful in this scenario. It would have scratched with the coating and it will be able to get scratched again after it

Took me 6 months to get the dealership to attempt to fix a paint drip from the factory on mine. After leaving it with them twice it's still there but less noticeable. They told me on like 4 occasions they'd have to strip the whole area and repaint. Guess what they didn't do but instead just sand the area a bit and spray right over because "we'd have to take the spoiler off and that's a biiig deaaal" ya ok like 4 bolts and some double sided adhesive strips boohoo. I knew buying from any company other than like Mercedes or BMW and you'll be treated like trash but jeez. Good luck.

If it’s financed and your keeping just go to a body shop to fix it. I had a trunk leak in a Gm car I own. Long story short body shop fixed it. If it’s lease let the next owner deal with it

Ok, back form the paint shop and pleased with the results. they actually had to repaint both the sides as well as the roof. I’ve asked for some pictures of the process but this it now.
