I went into some detail about this in another thread, but I have new information, and I will eliminate any part that may have seemed like a rant:
Assume for whatever reason, the Lexus dealership sold me a new car that needed to be repainted. After a couple of "take-backs", there are fisheyes in the hood (about ten), some scratches and buffer marks. In addition, the entire car has light light light "swirlishness" (is this what you guys call "micro-marring"). They are going to fix everything except the swirlishness. We walked around the lot, and EVERY dark color car had this. So my question is, is this normal on other manufacturers? Obviously this is normal for Lexus/Toyota, but is this across the board? I have been to a few car shows and studied the finishes, and did not see this, but perhaps the light wasn't right or I wasn't focused down hard enough.
I don't think I can even capture it with a digital camera.
