New car - feint scratches
Discussion
Hi I have taken delivery of a new f- type which is great
However when I got home I noticed feint scratches on the bodywork in places like someone had cleaned it with a dirty cloth and there was a small scratch about 3 mm wide on one door - not what you would expect from a new car and it looks like it's been cleaned by an amateur
There is also a mark about 10cm wide underneath the gloss paint like a blemish that has been painted over with the lacquer gloss finish so it can't be corrected - looks like a paint defect
The jaguar dealer said they would take it in and get it addressed - I assume they will clean it polish etc and remove the scratches using products I can probably get at home
Dealer is 40 miles away and means they need to collect car and have it for 2 days
Reluctant for someone to take it as I am not sure what will be done to the bodywork to resolve it and I will be without it for 2 days
Anyone got any advice as what I should do - let them collect it and try to fix it / I drop it off to avoid a random driver collecting it and potentially tearing it over a 40 mile journey back to jaguar / try to apply a product that removes the scratches myself ?

Does the car detail need to be done in a workshop or can a mobile job be done
I have had a quote for someone that will do a 1 stage machine polish and then seal and coat it to get rid of scuffs etc they said it will take 4-5 hours
They are accredited and good reviews on Checkatrade - they said only a ceramic coating would need to be done in a workshop
Does this sound ok ?
