Did you take a light to it ? I had a nasty swirl mark on my driver side door that you could only see in a certain angle in the garage . Guess the light just happened to hit it at the right spot

perfect placement actually. It’s literally my right arm.

Placement was the wrong word. Orientation would be the right word. Why not with the barrel facing down with the handle above and the netting and not ecumbered by it? Just saying.

Yes. Paint was inspected in sunlight and was factory quality. Used the same diffused light to check paint and to inspect for high spots after each coat too. Most swirl marks come from improper washing technique and/or use of drive thru automatic car washes. Car is new and always hand washed by me using two bucket method.

I asked my SA how they washed and prepped cars before delivery for that exact reason. He assured me they did not use an automatic car wash and did hand wash only. He took me back to meet their detailer/porter. He was a 60 year old man with very professional appearance and work space. Only person who has washed the car other than me. I did have a few minor marks on my wheels though. I assume those are from the tie down in the RORO maybe.

Surface Transforms carbon ceramic rotors and Pagid RSC1 pads. Amazing brakes to say the least. Thanks @Hinz Motorsport for the quick shipment and excellent deal!

Be real careful changing the wheels...if the rim slips down, you'll ruin the ceramics.

After you bed them and get some track time, I would be interested in your review and opinion on the difference in handling from reducing the unstrung weight….if you don’t mind? Happy holidays.
