Several parts of the car had some major damage, the hood and right above the front tires was the worst. The paint was also very prone to marring. It was a huge learning experience for me.
I feel bad for nanjay. What should have been a very happy time with a new car has been a frustrating experience.

I think people must do an Internet search for "San Diego Car Detailer" or something because I think people are finding this thread through a random Internet search.

Yeah bud, if you do take some more pics, be sure to send them to me for my new web site.
True to form, the panels that were repainted by the body shop were absolutely hammered. To put in in perspective, I used Extreme Cut with an orange LCVC pad via rotary and actually reduced the swirls and enhanced gloss dramaticall...which tells me they must have hit it with twisted wool and then turned it out the door. I actually had to hit it 2-3x with Extreme Cut to remove the swirls, and then followed with 106ff 2x. The end result was aound a 95% perfect finish throughout the entire car...about as good as it gets (the rest of the car got HTEC 1x and 106FF 2x).
Make sure the pictures show direct sun or direct lighting so the peeps don't think were hiding anything.
Thanks again for the vote of confidence!
