    Clearcoat damage from sap

    Following from leaving my car at Gatwick for a 2 week holiday, I come back to find sap all over the car. I've just washed it and looks like the sap has etched into the clearcoat.

    If a dealer......

    I am not going to name the dealer yet, as I am giving them time to reply, but if a dealer, while changing the tyres and/ or performing the wheel alignment, scratches a spotless alloy, what would you do? Thoughts appreciated as I don't know if I'm being too anal about this scratch. Thanks
