The most consistent GWM paint complaint from Australian owners. In direct sun a hologrammed black or dark grey panel shows a distinctive curved buffer trail rather than the random fine scratching of a normal wash swirl.
You do not get holograms from washing a car. They come from machine work, which means somewhere between the factory and the driveway a panel was buffed in a hurry. Worth knowing, because it means the clear coat has already given up some thickness before you even started.
Owners report paint that picks up marks and stone chips easily - and also note, fairly, that this is not unusual for the class. It is a reason to protect the car, not a reason to think it is a bad one.
These get bought to be used. Scrub down the flanks, stone damage along the sills and mud packed into every seam is normal - and far easier to deal with on a coated surface than a bare one.
