Fuming with rage!!!

As you're not making much sense, I don't fully understand your situation.

However, I believe it could be one of the following things:

People brushing past the car
Someone's Keyed it
You've been washing it with a brillo pad
Or they've been there all along and you've only just noticed.

Go back to the dealer if you are convinced it's none of the above and I'm sure they'll be helpful, after all, you did spend an obscene amount of money with them for this car.

If you have a light scratch and cover it with polish it makes it harder to see but when you wash the car they come back .. as it will remove the polish

I'm hoping you mean wax, not polish.

Maybe you could take a picture of the scratches.

If they disguised them with something it must be good stuff although temporary...must be better than dr colourchip and thats permanent.

Because

Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or using a chemical action, leaving a surface with minimal diffuse reflection and significant specular reflection (still limited by the index of refraction of the material according to the Fresnel equations.)[1] When the surface is magnified thousands of times, it usually looks like mountains and valleys. By repeated abrasion, those "mountains" are worn down until they are flat or just small "hills." The process of polishing with abrasives starts with coarse ones and graduates to fine ones.

Polish is an abrasive to smooth and clean the surface. WAX is what stays behind on the paint.

I genuinley know someone who did this, well not brillo, but a green scourer

My stepson passed his test a couple of years ago and we gave him our old toyota corolla (W plate), and a few days later i saw his car and as you can imagine it was full of scratches where he had used the scourer to wash the car, i never laughed my ass off so much in all my life. He couldn't understand until i said it looks like you've used a scourer to wash it and his reply was 'i did' :p
 
I see why you are saying that now

And yes I know the difference between the polish and wax but only said polish as something like Auto Glym Super Resin is called a polish
And also the link I had given is a liquid polish.
 
I think you need to start being a bit more realistic when thinking how far the dealers obligations stretch.

You might get a good will valet out of them this time, but have a very careful look and see if theres anything else you want to bring to their attention and do it now, not in another weeks time.

not really, you wouldn't expect a new(ish) car to be full of scratches which i imagine is why he mentioned its age, everyone else just posts a new thread when they get a new car so why shouldn't OP, why would he disguise a thread like this to say it?

Which isn't what he said at all, obviously it's gotten to you though. He was posting the age to show the car wasn't old with scratches rather than that he was flash and rich.

They could well have hidden scratches with a non permanent fix. Depends on the car colour. A mate of mine does an excellent job hiding and polishing scratches on his black cars pre-sale with a Staedtler permanent fine tip marker and polish. :D
 
ive seen all sorts of "tricks" they can pull on a car to make it look prestine paintwise only for it to have tons of scratches underneath

good luck with the dealer though. be sure to let us know how you get on
 
My poor attempt

if he was trying to impress us he'd have a bought a 09 reg :p

58 plates are so 2008 anyway.

still sounds fussy though :D
