Even a brand new car will have swirls. I'd personally get it professionally detailed and then just maintain it.

Dealerships are terrible... we get loads of new car protection details in and even on cars which have had no prep by the dealer (eg Nick's dad got a brand new 335d X Drive) and had no prep work, no sealants or protectants applied and still needed lots of machine polishing.

The standard that cars come is very hit and miss..

we would charge around £350 for a new car detail with Cquartz UK coating applied which comes with a 2 year guarantee.

£150 for a regular detail with a regular wax or sealant is a good price (depending on whether this will comprise of any corrective work at an approved & insured place is another question..).

Doing it yourself is fine but you need the time and materials...it would take at least 15 hours to do it properly especially when the quality of most new cars is so, so dreadful.

Cheers for those replies, might just look at taking it and getting it done properly if the paintwork looks poor when we get it, it's going to be black so any issue will no doubt stand out like a sore thumb. Anyone know if Skoda are any worse/better than other manufacturers for the quality of paint on new cars?

It's nothing to do with the brand of car and everything to do with the dealers.
Sometimes the more exotic the worse they are...........
