Nissan's paint isn't that great and is easily chipped. If they isntalled the swirls by polishing it with a buffer then the detailer didn't know $H!* on how to do his job, it was problably the hack wash jobs they all do. I had to have several peices repaitned from bad paint and even thinning in the cleaer coat on my hatch. Yeah I was pissed, only benefit is I had a better paint now then I did from the factory and have DuPonts service plan and life time warranty. I am sorry to hear about your issues and hope you get them resolved, I had to go to a few dealers to get one that carred and used a privately owned shop that wasn't dealer owned.

And as for the swirls, go get a real detailer to do it or try to get the dealership to pay, but a full on paint correction for that vehicle should be at most 300ish, but I think a one step would do it and they run about half that price. If you want to learn try it yourself, polishing isn't hard, just takes time and patients. Try Meguire's M-105/205 its their proffesional line not the crappy swirl X. Get their polisher or Porter Cable, only thing is detailign is addictive but well worth the time IMO.
Good luck
