Nice looking car! My first Vette was an auto; second was a manual. I've owned manuals ever since :-) Good luck with the detailing and let's hope spring arrives early! Enjoy!

Congrats on the new GS!
Sorry about the swirls. I had the Sam issue with my last new car. Some stupid shop monkey had apparently wiped it down with a dirty damn rag. Car was a mess. I had to take it back and have them buff it. |

Same with my 2008 Vette..I would take her back..I'm sure the dealer has some off site detail specialist...Be careful with that NRBM..as you can see its very heavy in metalic...

Nice new ride you got. Why not make the dealer pay to have the swirl marks taken away? Can't hurt to ask.

Update...Good and bad...
The good...After 11 hours of washing, compounding, polishing, and waxing, the paint is perfect, not a scratch or swirl to be seen. The Bad...When I picked the car up, it was already dark, and was inside the dealers service bay being "shined up". I haven't had time to drive it since buying it, due to weather, etc. So yesterday, when I started my detail work(first day without freezing temps), I got to look everything over well. As I started to clean the dash, I notice a small circle, just shy a complete 360*, on the lower left corner of the heat/ac window. As I run my finger across it, it's actually deep, and as stated, almost a perfect circle. I was baffled as to what would cause it, it defied explanation...Until my son came out to get a better look at the car. I showed him, and he sat for a minute with a baffled look on his face. Just then, the look changed, he popped the ashtray open, and pulled the lighter out...Bingo. The question is, how did it happen? Lighter looks completely unused, and in brand new condition, of course the Vette only had 5 miles on the ticker. Accident, on purpose? :crazy2: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8090/8...46b44fc5_b.jpg |

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8090/8...46b44fc5_b.jpg No accident. Someone was making a statement there. Edit: Oops. My bad. You bought this new! Hmmmmmm. |
Hate to say it, but my bet is it was on purpose.
Perhaps some jackass sat in the car on the showroom floor and just to be a little buttwipe quickly did that while the salesman wasn't looking. Or, disatisfied employee at the dealership... or maybe one of the porters, making $12/hour wanted to show "rich" Corvette buyers what he thought of them. It is really disappointing what some azzholes will do. When I owned my 1972 Stingray, I once parked it at a community fair. Came back from the fair to the car and something caught my eye: Someone had crumpled a napkin around the butt of their cigarette and stuck both in the corner of my front bumper. WTF? Another time, same car, I parked in my parking garage for my apt complex - at the time - which was a loooong time ago - after work. I went inside and then remembered I'd forgotten something in the car. Came back to it and someone had spat a huge loogey right in the center of my windshield. I was very angry at first but then almost felt sorry for that person. They must have been such a loser, with no accomplishments or ambition in life that they just got insanely jealous that I had a '72 Vette. The moral of this overly long story: some people are jealous azzholes. |

Looks like the PO left his impatient gal inside the car for too long, and she got pizzed off. :lol:
