Sanding marks, holograms and light swirling are reported straight from the factory on several exotic marques. It is worth having a new car properly inspected under correct lighting before you accept the finish as it is - most owners never see these until someone points a light at them.
Thin, soft clear coat over an expensive panel is the worst combination there is for machine work. The wrong pad, the wrong speed or one pass too many goes through the clear and the repair is a respray of a carbon or aluminium panel.
Exposed carbon is finished with lacquer, not paint, and it behaves differently under a machine and under UV. It also yellows with sun exposure in a way paint does not. It gets treated as its own surface, not as more bodywork.
Front splitters, low sills and the leading edge of the nose collect damage from driveways, speed humps and road debris simply because of where they sit. On these cars they are also usually the most expensive parts to repair.
