A suggestion
If any of you guys and gals have any wheel or paint scuffs, etc. , ask the dealer who does their touch up paint work and who the wheel guy is. These contractors come to dealers to touch up their cars. I personally have one of each at my becon call.

Jazz-Swirl marks
Swirl marks are caused by wiping , waxing a car without removing the tiny particles of dirt first. Swirl marks at a car show are easily explained by the people going around and wiping off the fingerprints and dust/dirt without first cleaning off those tiny bits of dirt with claying or other detialing and cleaning products. Its how the surface is treated and not the paint.

Getting my roadster wet sand next week by dealer. Hopefully it would be good and not create more problems

Wow! I am blown away by these posts about clear coat issues. I have a yellow 2009 with 18k miles that I bought used with 4k, the left front portion of the car has extensive chipping going on. Same thing I’ve read, it bubbles and breaks off. I spoke to the dealer and the first guy said it was road damage...I said BS...the next guy said the car had to have been repainted because the clear coat color is different...also BS. Just goes to show that unless you are willing to post some kind of damaging video on you tube and it goes viral, you’ll just be ignored. Sad!

update
since my car got repainted and thick coat of clear put on it-have not had one problem with paint. I use Adam's products exclusively.
i went all the way to corporate to get my car repainted-it was a battle. The paint job was just under 5000. to get the car right-repainting is necessary. |

Do you have post paint job pictures? Where did they do the repaint exactly?

That's why I skipped black on the Z. The lighter colors arent that bad because they hide a lot of imperfections.

Glad it worked out for you. My situation is heading towards cluster $#@%. It has been in the shop for two weeks going onto the 3rd. They are repainting the front bumper (again) and painting the back now....all this after "wet sanding"

That sucks. What exactly was the issue with your paint?

The original complaint was hard water spots that would not go away, excessive swirl marks, clouding of the bumpers and orange peels on the doors. Their solution was to wet sand the entire car.
At week one, I received a call that the front bumper's paint was too thin that they will needed to repaint. I hesitantly approve. Last week I received a call that it was ready but was told that there are "issues" with the rear bumper. I arrive at the dealership and noticed a poor paint job for the front bumper where dust spots in the clear were visible along with poor masking job; rear bumper has a long strip where buffing has removed the clear and base to the primer thus needing new paint. Although the rest of the car appeared clean from swirl marks and orange peel, I did not really fully inspect it due to the obvious faults. So at this stage, they are repainting both the front and back. I have yet received any news but expect it to be returned to me this week. This is really unacceptable for a $50K car.
