Picked up my new car three weeks ago and paid the dealership for thier ceramic coating package. Went to wash it myself last weekend for the first time and noticed a hazy circle on the hood near the passenger side headlight. Under direct sunlight it's relly obvious, dull spot with a bunch of fine scratches in it, like they held a buffer in one place too long.
I'm guessing this is a rotary burn from whoever did the coating? I know almost nothing about paint correction so I don't even know what questions to ask. Is this something a decent detailer can polish out, or is the clear coat damaged for good? I've read conflicting things online about how much clear coat you can safely remove on a factory panel. Also not sure how to approach the dealership about it. They told me the coating came with a lifetime warranty, but a burn mark from their own guy seems like it might be a diferent conversation. Should I get an independent detailer to look at it first so I know what I'm dealing with, or go straight back to the service department and let them make it right? Any advice appreciated, I'm kind of sick about it.
