Default Scuff on roof of my NEW Z

Well, I got my new Z yesturday. Last night, I see a rather large scuff on the roof ata certain angle that I did not see before. So I am assuming they did this when they cleaned it up. So if I go into Nissan will they repaint my roof? Or what do you guys/girls reccomend?

Side note : I would usually not have them clean it, but it JUST came off the truck, had the white tape all over it and everything.

Thanks for your help.

Jason

Same happen to me ,the clear coat was scratched on the roof from dealers prep.I rubbed some white compound to blend it;its still there and I can live with it or trust them to fix it.For some reason people like to run their hands over the finish(rings/watch's/braclets)results in scratches.

This looks like they actually took off some clear coat with a buffer. And it is a rather large area. With quite a few swirl marks surrounding it.

Went to a detail shop.

The guy took out the scuff for free. Looks perfect, no mark at all.

It is a detail shop that I want to work at.

It is Thorpe Auto Detail off of winchester. Not sure what the cross street is. It is in campbell.

If you head over there to talk to him, his name is Dave. GREAT guy. Great work.

Tell him Jason sent you.

Also, just for verification, he is not giving away free work. I do know him, and that may be why he helped me. However, if you have something very minor like I had, and ask im what you should do, I am sure he would be glad to help you out.
