I just took delivery on a new Z06 yesterday. The car actually came into the dealer a few weeks ago, but because of my travel schedule, I wasn't able to pick it up till yesterday.
This is my second C8. The first one I paid about $2K to have the paint corrected and ceramic coated, so the car was pretty much perfect when I took delivery.
I skipped that this time around. When I rec'd my car, I was blown away at the poor paint condition. I gave the car a quick bath in the garage, and it was covered in blemishes. I tried to claybar after the wash to see if it was a simple contaminant that would come off - that didn't work. It almost looked like defects either under the clear coat or maybe even in the clearcoat.
I brought out the polisher and spent a few hours getting bunch of scratches as well as these other blemishes out. I'm sadly disappointed at the paint quality on this brand new car, and it's making me consider the need for ppf if the car blemishes this easily.
Anyone else have a similar experience? Or am I the lucky winner?
