$1900 estimate bill for paint and windshield issue on after delivery

...by a competent detailer with the appropriate buffing pad/compound. I don't think anyone at any SC would qualify.

I’m a complete amateur and buffing stuff out like that, anyone can do. Easier than you think.

Yeah, the "cracked paint" is just paint over seam sealer. It's been beaten to death on reddit, there is nothing to fix there. Totally normal. The seam sealer is still doing its job, but shrinks after it is painted over.

Uhh...okay...sure...but you've been around here longer than I have, and we all know the horror stories of how some Service Centers can make things worse!!

Oh I totally agree don’t let SC touch it unless it’s serious. For scuff I buff it out myself. I wasn’t implying SC could do it easy breezing. They will buff out the front and scratch the back worse.

For visible chips (all doors closed) not sure what I’d do. Might try touch up kit first but then you void them fixing it.
