The car still has 10 months on the warranty so I am going to Ford to discuss my displeasure with them (it would have to be on one of the non removeable panels, wouldn't it F@#@$###).I am wondering which Ford dealer in Brisbane is best to obtain satisfaction? Will they get it airbrushed satisfactorily?

If the blemish is a defect in workmanship or materials, I would be surprised if Ford would not at least look at it. Any "good" dealers in Brisbane for satisfaction?
