Got my new car a couple of days ago.
Life was brilliant
After washing it for the first time today my heart nearly stopped. The surface of the windows felt strangely rough.
All windows where full of tiny tiny "iron sparks" from using a cutting wheel. (don?t know the right expression in english)
Then I remembered what the dealer said some weeks ago. The delivery of my car (and others, here in Sweden) was delayed due to problems with some cars beeing sprayed with sparks. Didn?t think much of it then. But now it?s quite another story.
Shall I claim a new car or shall I tell them to exchange all windows for new ones ??
And what about the paint. Is it also affected ? Can?t se anything wrong with it, but who knows, they probably have polished it.
I will contact my dealer tomorrow. And I can tell you my words will be #####

Congrats on your new car! Annoying with the damage, new windows is for sure, take the car to a third part body shop and ask for his opinion on the paint, sometimes a pro can see stuff you would not notice.. Good luck!

Very nice! Space Gray and Tobacco seems like a perfect match!
