agree, comimg from a detailing background myself, its all in the technique. good products and a good buff help. Dependant how bad, ive also cut back with a sander and buffed up from there, same process as really bad orange peel

Me personally,I wouldn't have accepted delivery with the swirl marks. in most cases, the swirl marks come from the pre delivery dept. cause the guy preparing the car doesn't know how to buff. As hard as it is, ive seen seen white cars with swirl marks which is near impossible to do..Part of the purchase price includes pre delivery.Get em to do it 20x if need be until u r happy.

I would highly suggest NOT to keep taking it back to the Dealership detailers.

If they had no idea in the beginning and introduced all of the swirls whilst detailing then chances are they will still have no idea and will keep doing so.

Not to mention the amount of clear coat they are removing each time they throw a rotary at it.

If i was you, give Mike or Pierre at Car Care Products a call and they might be able to point you in the right direction of someone in your local area that specialises in paint correction.

Definitely agree with all of the above.
I was in exactly the same position when I got my mk6 black GTI.
Did a tonne of research, and visited the guys at CCP.
Got stocked up, got heaps of great of advice and haven't looked back
I've even been doing family and freinds cars as well. It is quite addictive!!
.If you get it done by a detailer I'm sure they will be more than happy to explain/ show you how to maintain it correctly.
But definately wouldn't take it back to the dealership, as they are likely to just use a glaze that will fill rather than actually correct/
