I'm sorry but that is utter bollocks, that trailer would have gone through a caustic cleaner, a couple of rinse tanks, then into an acid (most likely inhibited hydrochloric acid) pickling tank then into a couple more water rinse tanks before being hot dipped. That looks more like a porous weld or some other manufacturing defect allowing the acid solution to continue leaching out after rinsing.
I used to work in (mostly zinc) electroplating, and although the finishing process is different, the preparation will still be the same.
You paid a lot of good, hard earned money for that trailer, that area is going to need constant attention and rustproofing.
They are ( As you well know) trying to fob you off with nonsense.
I hope you get it sorted to your satisfaction & maybe name and shame this manufacturer when you're sorted
You don't need to be an @rse about it.
I agreed with this at the time - and still do, more or less
( see below )^^ FFS !!! I suggest it's time to turn up the level of assertiveness in your dealings with this outfit - about 1% less than full on rant should be sufficient
Do they advertise in the local paper at all ? might be worth emailing said paper with a photo
