I deliberately got my car un-polished so I made sure nobody induced paint circles when preparing the car. When I got it home I went over itmyself with Swissol stuff and now have 2 nice layers of wax on the car. Good way to check for any issues on paintwork.

I'd also try to get a quick run round the block and listen for rattles... on mine the car rattled from new from the storage compartment in the dash. It goes in on Wednesday to get it looked at.

And..probably find that daytime running lights are switched "on"...maybe worth getting shown how to change that (along with number of indicator flashes) before leaving. Not faults as such but should be 30 seconds to switch over by the dealer.
