Thanks for the insightful reply. Very helpful. Yes, the detailer said he will show me what he means by imperfections if there are indeed any.

There will be, There always is. You'll be amazed at how good it will look after he is finished.

To my naked eyes, I cannot see any, the car looks ok to me! How do I tell, will a torch close up show me something?

Have a look at the Car Care Products detailing threads on here - then you will see what sort of results can be achieved.

They show up cearly with LED lights. But the effect is a deeper gloss once they are removed.

Don't get too upset they are quite normal and unfortunately will happen time and time again. The best way to reduce them is with good washing principals and as others have suggested a high quality coating (I'm out of my depth when it comes to reccommending these). The coating does need to be cared for and even then will only last 1 - 2 years.

Ok thanks for that, hope he can get rid of them because they are also on my drivers door and some on the passenger side, how the hell i did not notice these when I picked it up. I guess, because I picked the car up late afternoon towards getting dark!

Cars always look great when you pick them up from the dealer because they apply a glaze to mask any marring. Think of it as putting icing on a cake. :p

This will give you an idea on how bad a brand new car can be. Pic 5 is the money shot. BMW 335i Dealership Horror!! And Cquartz Finest
