Collected new 06, TDV6, HSE in Buckingham Blue a couple of weeks ago. Coolected from inside dealership as it was dark outside. Car looked great. Next morning was a bright sunny day. In the bright sun the paint finish looked bad. It looked like the car had been cleaned and polished with dirty cloths once a week for 18 months. Panels are covered in big swirls. Some are in large circles. Others are more straight lined or follow the cut of a panel. Around a wheel for example. I'm talking to Marshalls in Peterborough about rejecting the car. We are waiting for someone from LR to come and take a look at it. Marshalls say that it must be a production issue and that dark colured cars look like that. Small marks yes but not like this on a new car. I've had lots of dark new cars (BMW's) and have never seen this issue before. Just been looking at Merc, Volvo, Jag etc. and their dark colours all look fine. Other cars at the dealership were all showing similar marks. Both Disco's and RR's. Maybe the problem is part of the dealers cleaning processes. Supagard was applied.
Has anyone else had the same problems with there paint finishes.

My car looks like a whirly paint project in the bright sunshine as it is black. Otherwise it is fine. Funny though same dealer, who I find fantastic. Never seen the guy use a power tool to clean any of the new cars either ???????

Maybe the car was specially power 'cleaned' before the extra finish was applied. Would be worth an anonymous call to find out the process for applying the Supaguard before tackling LR on whether the car can be rejected.

I rejected my Buckingham Blue one as it looked like someone had hammerited it. The dealer was ok about it and the guy from the factory was ok as well.
