As for the scratches, you will probably not be able to get rid of them completely, a good indication is what the area looks like when wet, that is usually the best you can get it with a proper polish.

The bubbleing usually indicates rust, I would have had that repaired professionally, might get that on the factory warranty actually, dont they have a 5 year rust warranty?
I had the same thoughts regarding the bubbling, however it looks like it's been caught with something so wouldn't have thought that would be covered under the 5 year warranty!!

Rather disappointing news about the thickness of paint, as I was under the impression that Germans do it better! But I'll make sure I go easy, thanks for the heads up.
