Went to pick up my new r spec (black) today and I was very dissapointed to see swirl marks all round.!!!! wtf...??? I told the dealer that I'm not picking it up unless all the marks are removed or I'm want my money back. I really snapped...!! they said it will get proffessionally detailed. I'm not convinced. what should I do????how can this bloody happen??? where fords quality control gone???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they just don't put some polish stuff on it which fill in the swirls so once you take it home and give it a few washes they start to come back.I had a mate who purchased a black pursuit ute, and his paint was screwed from new, and they ended up re-painting the car for him (well that's what he told me, I dont see him very often).Guaranteed that happened at the car yard, when they got some idiot to wash the car with a friggin broom or something! f****ng car yards!

What really is so fustrting that I wont know whether they have removed it or covered up the swirls like you said. Who knows..!! I've asked Dr Detail for a full polish/seal when and if I get it home. They have really burst my excitment bubble of driving away in a BRAND NEW CAR................!!! Edited 28/02/08 08:04 AM by FPVF6S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways was looking into swirl removal product last night and found this from 3m - 3m Perfect-It 3000 Ultrafina Swirl EliminatorLooks like the sh*t to use.

Coming from expirance my old Ford which was a BA XR8 Ute had swirl marks really bad which was caused by using an Enjo car clove. I took it to a local detialer.They said the swirl marks will always be there no matter what. They gave the car a go over and when. I picked it up looked great they also told me after about 4-5 washers the car would look the same as before with all the swirl marks back. I traded the car in before it started to look to bad again and brougth another Black car........WTFSo once with swirl marks always with swirl. But black is a beautiful colour when clean.Hope this helps mate and good luck with the car.AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provided the swirls aren't too deep they can usually almost be eliminated with the right techniques...but the fact of the matter is its a brand new car it should be completely swirl free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been the car of my dreams ever since the F6 came out, but I was waiting for the right one, then the r-spec came out and "bingo" I was in love..!!!! angel #3 I'm not sure if the swirl marks will always be there. XF falcon is true in saying that if its buffed out correctly by a very good detailer I should never see them ever again. it just looked like it came from a stupid cafe car wash or something. I feel so angry and upset. If the car dosent come back 110% they can keep it....!!Can you cut back the paint in a a car that new?
