Not wrong, two Black 86's we did today both needed at least a Stage One Machine Polish and they were only a week old.

Simply because the dealership didn't prepare the paint to a level that would be acceptable to apply a coating on, there was swirl marks through both vehicles.

I have only come across one black 86 so far that had no swirls, however i would still recommend a light machine polish as this will further enhance the overall finish.

The dealership also use polish/waxes with fillers that mask the swirl marks for a few weeks so it looks great when you pick the car up, after a wash and the decontamination process these fillers wash out and the swirl marks become visible.

Here's a couple of photos from the two black 86's from today, unfortunately i didn't get any direct sun shots as there was no sun where i was working and i couldn't get the fine swirls to show up on the camera with the LED lighting.
