Dealer probably purposely had the car in the certain lighting to hide the issue. Thinking someone might not care.
We use to do that all the time with used cars. But I gave that up years ago guys. Sorry it's the business practices, not the employees. They put a bonus on a car to try and have employees push it as is.

If it were used I wouldn’t care as much.

That's terrible ... sorry for what you have gone through. As for water spots that are under the clear ... I have heard they use a heat gun to get them out? That is what the dealer told me they do.
Thanks I just really want this resolved. It’s difficult to enjoy the new car with this hanging overhead.

Go cry to somebody that cares because I don't. It's sarcasm so don't get your panties all bunched up and go read the 'manual vs. dsg' thread, then you'll get it.

Hell no you don't. Just go to another dealer and also go to a different body shop to get their opinion on the paint. No persuading, demanding is how you need to be

Wait, this thread isn't a safe place? Oh no!
Stick up for yourself if you are not 100% satisfied, and as you were advised earlier, open a case with VWoA. Just because they called you doesn’t necessarily mean a case has been opened. They would love to keep everything minimally documented. Don’t let them off the hook.
I did open a case. Don’t worry, if the buff is unsuccessful they’ll be dealing with the Hulk. ?

Half the time the VWoA rep contacts me about my car, they only know half the story. That or they say there were no issues when I then have to inform them of the issues found. Fun stuff.
