Paint protection
Had my new 911 wrapped in 3m scotch pro at the dealer figuring it would be protected from the get go for the drive home. After close inspection one fender has a tiny lint like particle under it. The bottom spoiler li is peeling in the corner. This was a 5 hour job at the dealer I was told. Now for the pain in the *** job to take it back for corrections. Why can't anybody do it right the first time. I know it's all about the installer. I'm in ma. Rant over!!!!!!

I just had my 2015 C2 done with Xpel. I spent a lot of time researching/visiting shops, & found the dealer to be the lessor option. Independent did a great job!
GL with your car - it'll only take more time, nothing likely hurt in process.

We are fortunate in MA to have a great independent installer (north of Boston), it appears that your dealer didn't use them. I don't live that close to them but take my cars to them exclusively.
I would try to get half of whatever you paid back from your dealer, then maybe go to this guy or someone else to get it right.

I have not heard of them.
The place I use is called Unique Car Care, they are in Stoneham. I have no affiliation with them, but they do great work, not cheap, but very good. I also have another sports car from a different manufacturer and many of my friends from that club use this place as well.
