I don't think "curing" is the issue, mine was painted almost two months ago.
Mine was built almost 2 months ago as well. My main point is that for over 10 years I have used the exact same pressure washer in exactly the same way on all of my BMWs and this is my first experience of paint peeling. I was shocked how quickly it just peeled off- I was closer than this on other parts of the car with no issue. The paint on the front plastic lip is definately softer/ not as well adhered as the rest of the car - that is a fact.

Some of the know it all attitudes on here have surprised me, just one forum member trying to inform others so they don't make the same mistake but as always on this forum some like to take the holier than thou attitude.
