Worried the Dealership instill Swirls into my new paint job?
I recently took my "07 black Lexus to dealer for it's first regular maintenance service. When I got the car back there were several deep scratches on the hood and front fenders. I was furious and immediately brought this to the service manager's attention. The scratches were too deep and could not be buffed out. The dealer is now repainting the front. I have expressed my displeasure to both the dealer and Lexus corporate offices and have told them that I will be very careful and critical in inspecting the quality of the work done when I pick up the car.
The car is black so I don't think paint match will be an issue but I am concerned about orange peel and signs of overspray. The weather forecast for the next few days is overcast so picking up the car in sunlight might be a problem and all black cars look great when there is no bright sunlight.
If I bring my Brinkman Dual Xenon (that I use for finding swirls) will it be useful in detecting any impurities and other paint concerns? Or is that obsessing a bit? I just want to make sure the work is done right - then I will be done with this dealership.
