Per the “experts”, paint correction not necessary if you are satisfied with the current condition of your paint. I was quite happy with my paint - new car with no swirls marks, scratches, chips or defects. I was also satisfied with its gloss level. I would have polished it if I thought it was needed.
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

IMO, that placement isnt ideal. Would be awkward to get to in a situation where seconds count. Maybe it's there just for the photo, just like the one with it on the passenger seat. Either way, cool piece, especially how the handle and etching go very well with the fabric seating.

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.

Be real careful changing the wheels...if the rim slips down, you'll ruin the ceramics...a suggestion to buy wheel hangers wheel hangers
