I parked my car at night next to my patio that has a couple of yellow "bug" flood lights installed. Under that lighting color, the clear/paint reflected differently and showed all kinds of swirls and light scratching all over the body.
I put the car in the garage, closed the door and inspected the finish front to back with a bug light installed in a portable light holder. I don't know if other paint colors will reflect the same as the Lemans blue, but I could see all kinds of stuff. Even dust reflected differently and was more visible.
None of this shows up in the daylight. As a matter of fact, in the daytime the finish is very high gloss. The gloss seems to hide everything.
I took the car back to my dealer who had buffed it before delivering it. I took my one on the yellow bug lights (installed in a portable light holder) and showed them the problem. The consensus was that all cars have swirls.
Fortunately I have a Dealer work order that states: "all scratches to be removed" prior to delivery. Stay tuned....
