2020 RT Limited swirls in the paint

[FINFAN3DP]

So my new 2020 RT Limited looks like the dealership washed it with sandpaper. Swirls in the paint EVERYWHERE. I bought some Maguires Swirl X, but it didn't seem to do a thing. Has anyone found a way to fix this?

This *sucks .... I'll bet whoever did the first or second wash didn't use enough water or didn't rinse it well while it was dirty .... the only thing I would try is a light polishing compound ..... and do a small inconspicuous area using almost no pressure .... wash and see if it worked .... if not try a little more pressure etc. ..... wishing you success ....

What does the dealer say about it?

I would agree with Mike. But not seeing what you have we are just guessing ..

But try a light rubbing compound in a small area first as suggested.

And also try the dealer first before you do anything as suggested.

I noticed on my 21 RTL that the Tupperware shows hairline scratches when the sun hits it just right. Really noticeable on the black top case. The finish needs a couple more layers of clear coat before it leaves the factory. Tried using Canuba wax, no luck. I will try some McGuires swirl remover and a couple of layers wax next. :banghead:

3M makes a clear coat wax, which is available at stores which sell automotive paint. Leaves the finish scratch and swirl free. But, your finish sounds like it needs a light buffing to eliminate most of the heavy stuff before wax.

Most of my glossy black trim has the swirl marks on them and I am also searching for a product which might help in removing them. I did come across a segment in the vlog “cruisemans garage” where he demonstrated how to remove light scratches from a Goldwings saddlebags. His demonstration would seem to be a bit much for a whole bike but may give you some ideas. I did not try his procedure so I have no first hade experience as it it’s effectiveness. I’m often concerned, when attempting repairs such as these, that I might make things worse.

That's a bummer for sure. Once you drive it off the lot, might be a stretch to get the dealer to do anything. Hope you find something that works. If not, Wrap my Syder, a vender here, sells a variety of decals that might cover the worst.
