Is it normal to have these many swirl marks on a new car?

[seneca blew me]

I was browsing some Emiras at a dealership and found one I liked, but it it was covered in swirls! Is this normal for a new car? I was really disappointed.

Normal. Mine came with these marks and I asked dealer to discount for these marks. Stage 2 paint correction will smooth them to an extent that you won’t ever notice.

this is called the dealer special. but yeah paint correction and some ceramic coating will help ensure the car looks new longer

What do you mean 'dealer special'... they caused it?

Should I decline their offer of paint correction?

the dealer special is just when they wash your car and leave swirls. if they offered paint correction then definitely take it. basically the swirls are fixable. if you really don't like swirls then you should look into self-healing clear PPF

I’d ask someone local for the price of stage 2 and ask for that discount to dealer. Or if dealers offer paint correction and XPEL coating, I will take that - you can always say the coating isn’t good enough if you haven’t paid full amount.

if you're in LA there is also a google sheet going around with prices
