Probably, but each case is different.Picked up my GT PP in black and its an amazing car. Can't help but notice some scratches here and there. Is this normal for a new car (this is my first new car). Would a paint correct get this sorted?
Could you capture the scratches in pictures and post here? CuriousPicked up my GT PP in black and its an amazing car. Can't help but notice some scratches here and there. Is this normal for a new car (this is my first new car). Would a paint correct get this sorted?
i got a noticeable one while taking delivery and they buffed it out there and then. but now under sunlight i can see some minor scratches in diff spots idk if normalProbably, but each case is different.
It‘s sad the way many dealers prep cars for delivery. It just takes one dirty bucket or one dirty cloth to impart swirls and scratches.
Depending on how bad they are you may want to take it back to show them, but your best bet is likely to engage a pro detailer.
No, it is NOT normal. We found we have some small dents in mine that were there before they painted itPicked up my GT PP in black and its an amazing car.

No, should not have dents or anything else wrong with any new car. They need to be deducting for everything as long as you show them firsti got a noticeable one while taking delivery and they buffed it out there and then. but now under sunlight i can see some minor scratches in diff spots idk if normal
They need to start being more careful. They need a huge raise alright!A paint correction will almost certainly get them out, I had an unpolished scuff from fords paint shop and a scratch next to it that I found when I got home with mine. Took it to my dealer the following week and they paint corrected that 1ftx1ft section. Sucks but black is one of those colors that even a brand new micro fiber towel can place light scratches on it.
I work in the paint shop for Honda, have for nearly 5 years now. Paint work is tedious and sucks to have to do on a new car but it is what it is. I’ve scuffed and polished more bumpers and bodies than I could remotely guess.I love how the one and only helpful response to the OP's reasonable concern from someone who actually has experience assembling these cars seemed to trigger some pretty extreme (and even just plain loony) political responses that have nothing to do with the topic at hand...
Good point about inspecting with a flashlight. My sales guy was ready to have me sign the paperwork when I told him that I wanted to inspect the car before signing. I took about thirty minutes to look over every inch of the car with a flashlight as well as check every feature to make sure it all functioned. Again, I was fortunate in the body and paint department because I could not find any defects. Anyone who is particular about their car should intentionally inspect every inch and discuss any defects with the dealer prior to purchase. I’ve found that you should look as closely over the entire car before purchase as you ever intend to during ownership.Being a black car, the slightest imperfections will show much stronger than other colors. Difficult to say where the swirls might have occurred. I'd be speculating.
In your example, I'd seek out a good detail shop, have them do a light polish and surface prep, something that'd be done before a ceramic coat or PPF. If you find things which are more significant, file a claim before to long. I had three days to make a claim against the dealer or the transporter.
For those due to pick up your vehicles, perform a thorough inspection, preferably in a darkened area with a torch. Let the dealer know that, other than the PDI, do not touch the car. Do not wash it. Do not "detail" it.
The people cleaning cars after they come off the truck, they're detailers in name only; they use cheap materials, cheap practices and the same dirty sponges and towels over and over again across every car.
My car arrived with several minor imperfections, one from the dealer prep person dragging their muddly boot across the footwell. Two from the transportation process, people opening the door against something, parking to close to something. One from the "detailer" and a dirty towel.
I took the car as-is, fixed half the issues myself, the others, repaired by a shop before installation of PPF.
