If a car is driven to any extent by its owner, you will get them... Rock chips are a fact of life...Like death and taxes…The secret is to occasionally touch them up...The first few hurt the most. Depending on the cars color touch-ups can almost disappear if done correctly. Regarding flaws on new cars, I don't think any are flawless. But to what extent you are willing to except an imperfection varies from person to person. Dealers know you are hot-to-trot to take the car home. Perhaps you should not accept the car till the problems are corrected. Bubbles in the paint, drips, scratches, areas not buffed out properly…unacceptable at delivery, but usually repairable, especially before taking final delivery. But expecting truly “flawless” is really unrealistic. MAYBE 99.9% flawless on a million dollar Bentley...and only if you took delivery at the factory, and up until you pulled on the street to leave the factory…They are painted, assembled and shipped by humans.
