Default micro sratches on glossy black paint of window frames , visable only in direct sun

I notices micro scratches on the glossy black paint on the window frame. Dealer said would look at it. It is may feeling caused in delivery prep.
if they can be buffed out ,should I have dealer do it?

Anticipate living with this as long as you have the car. That material is quite soft and shows everything.


Yes, it can be polished out but the scratching is just a part of life on those panels. I've applied a coating to mine. It helps but has not completely eliminated it.

and cars on lot, they all seem to have the same problem. Matte black would have been better.
