I just purchased a Toyota Venza with a dark metallic color. I had it perma plated by the dealer as I live near the ocean and have found the perma plate invaluable. I was shocked when I picked up my brand new car and saw the swirls and spider marks. I took it back but alas it was a cloudy day and the blemishes did not show up as bad. I was told that all cars have them and that was the new reality. I did not believe that and after reading your blog, am more convinced I am right. So where do I go from here? Do I take it back and make them make it right or do I can I make it right? I also worry about the perma plate? What effect did that have on locking in the swirls? Thank you for any advice.
