But then I spoke to soon! I was pumping gas last night and under all the fluorescent lighting at the gas station I noticed the car was completely full of swirls and scratches from the wet sanding. After it was wet sanded it seems like they had an inexperienced guy working on it because it looks like they did one maybe two passes on it with the buffer.

this is more normal than not for body shops...

boooooooooo! same thing happened to me! when i got my car, i had taken it to a reputable BMW shop. and they didnt even think to wetsand ANY OF THE CAR. so i had to cut and buff myself. it came out better than factory!
good luck though, typical for a body shop to do that. especially since its white, they probably thought you wouldnt see it, good thing we are all wackos!
