Two things I've noticed since leaving the deaslership last week:  1) a couple of small clearcoat scratches on a door, and 2) something took the finish off of one wheel (looks like it was curbed but metal is still smooth) in an area about 1/8" wide by 1" long. 
 
My paint is silver metallic and wheels are the 17" 5-spoke.  Any advice on simple DIY solutions?  Recommended compounds/paint sticks?

For #2 see this link. Great tech article concerning wheel scuff repair.
Hope you are enjoying your 3.2 A3. Possibly the detail shop at dealer can buff out the clearcoat scratches.
