Again, they would not be doing any repainting. They would be wet sanding and buffing out only.

I was talking about pushing the FCA to cover even repainting if needed under warranty provided you plan on ditching the car in 5 year period.

Right. I guess what I am asking is: if they only do wet sanding and buffing, do you think it will still be "blatantly obvious" 6 years later?

NO, most likely not (unless they managed to go through entire clear coat and then hide it from you)

When we bought my wife's Kia Sorento, it wasn't shiny and it had rail dust all over it. Between clay and polishing compound and wax, I got it looking pretty good. Then a drunk hit it. My buddy took it to his shop and fixed it and repainted the entire car. It looks better than it ever did from the dealer.

Wow, that's a bad paint job. I'm honestly a bit shocked that's from a modern car.
