Dealership Detailing
Anyone ever had their car detailed at their local dealer? I'm a big advocate of DIY, but they really tried to sell me on it after I dropped off for service.

I'm sure you can find a detail shop that will do a better job at a lower price than your dealership. Personally, I subscribe to the DIY mentality.

The dealership delivered my new car to me with a bunch of swirl marks on it as well.
I found a local detail shop that will remove the swirls then install a clear bra, then show me how to maintain the paint properly moving forward. That's what I'd recommend for you. Quote:
