Just picked up my 14 Forester; Black. I succumbed to the sales pitch at the dealer for the paint sealant (was part of a compromise in the deal) and had what is called Viking Shield applied to the car. Sounded like a good idea for the weather conditions we have in the PacNW. We picked the car up at night. Once in the garage I saw a bothersome area of smudging and distinctive paint swirls in the finish on the hood at a couple areas. I don't like to think of myself as a perfectionist, but it bothers me that such swirls should appear so soon after taking possession of a car that has only 10 miles on it. I also have a black miata and '86 jag; so I know about how to care for a finish. I am cringing about going back so soon to complaint to the dealer and I am looking for the advice of others beforehand. After all, why would I want to fork out money to protect the finish if a service hand uses some abrasive method to buff out what should be a simple wipe-off (or perhaps someone first washed the car and used a brush wand).
