2017 Subaru Legacy Corrected
The wife picked up a 2017 Subaru Legacy, new with only 8 miles on it. The dealership put so many swirls in it, looks like it was ran through a car wash and dried with a rough towel.
Fast forward several days later. I used:
Wolfgang Auto Bathe with two bucket method and a Meguiars microfiber wash mitt
LC Thin Pro orange pad with Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0
LC Thin Pro white pad with Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0
LC Thin Pro black with Wolfgang DGPS
Also, used Zaino white border free microfiber towel for removal of product and Cobra Miracle Towel for final wipe down and inspection with Wolfgang Detail Spritz. The wheels I used Zaino AIO and their Clear Seal, tires treated with Zaino Perfect Tire Gloss. I also used Wolfgang Trim Sealant on the black trim around the side view mirrors.

That's the Dealer-Installed Swirl Option (DISO).
Glad you got it cleaned up.

Funny! I'll post some pics after it lets me, there must be some technical glitz.

Soft Subaru paint + Dealer = Something needs to be done. Had the same thing as you last year with a black 2016 WRX, used the same Wolfgang Twins to fix it up then WG Uber Ceramic to finish it up. Has held up well over the summer w/ occasional applications of Gyeon Cure & Gyeon Wetcoat. Wheels got Gyeon Rim and tires Tuff Shine.
The need to protect the soft Subaru paint from swirls/marring led me down the whole detailing rabbit hole. Fun, but without the slightest bit of impulse control every AG 'Sale' banner triggers the Pavlovian impulse to buy something...whether I need it or not. Throw in all the other detailing websites and their sales and my UPS guy has certainly got a workout this year. And our cars have never looked better or been more easily maintained so I guess it's all worth it in the end.
Picked up a new winter car a month or so ago, managed to get that one before dealer gooned it up too badly.

Re: 2017 Subaru Legacy Corrected
Family got a new car from the dealer and I asked them not to wash or touch it. I get home and see tire shine on it and I look at all the panels. One has the look of a rotary moving over it fast and is messed up bad.....

Re: 2017 Subaru Legacy Corrected
Being a Subaru owner I encourage other Subaru owners to apply a quality coating to help protect this soft paint. I was lucky both of mine came unmolested by the dealership.
