Mate it looks like a brand new car! I wouldnt worry about such tiny imperfections... 10mm scratch? Thats nothing

I wouldn't worry about those little imperfections.  Remember that you bought a second hand car, not a brand new one.  I would be complaining if it was brand new from the dealer.

The paintwork issues are pretty normal for a 4 year old car. Can't expect it to be scratch free. However, do pay attention to rust and moss, I'd check all drain holes for tree litter obstructions, eg the doors, hatch and front guards. Has the rust bubbled and broken the paint surface, OR IS IT ACTUALLY TREE RESIN, they can look very similar. Unfortunately, it sets really hard and I have no idea what you could remove it with. Hopefully someone else here will know.

Either way, a great car.  :goodjob2:

I've had two cars previously and haven't really looked after them. The main reason I'm finding all the faults is to nip problems in the bud before getting any worse.

The car is in at the hyundai dealer to get the alloys checked in a couple of weeks as they are corroding slightly, see if they are eligible for refurbishment programme. Noticed the other day that the anti perforation book hasnt been filled in at all but it has full service history by hyundai

Re premium or comfort, there will be a sticker in the drivers door frame identifying the exact model. Open the door and it should be at the hinges.
