That's horrible, I wouldn't leave w/o a refund AND new glass
Then go to a good quality spot, Adri and i both just had ours done. They both came out great, we even had them paint the dot matrix's on her back window, came out FLAWLESS
That is a horrible job, but comparable to this girl in first gen a few years back where they did her rear window in 4 pieces all overlapping each other

It may be possible, depends how deep the scratches are, if your nail gets caught in them, then most likely not
The Eastwood Co has some great glass polishing products

Should have gone to tint king in billerica. Definitely see if they will fix/buff the glass, get your money back, and then take it to Tint King. First off, they machine cut the tint so no sloppy-ass lines. Secondly, they tint over the dot matrix and it comes out clean. Not sure if they tinted behind the brake light but I can't really tell so I have no complaint.

Hey Scott - where did you get your tint done at? I have some stereo stuff I'm looking to "cover up".

Best tint place i've found locally, great guys too, tell them the kid w/ the Red GTO sent you as i've sent a good amount of people to them lately. Everyone has been happy!
Formula One has them do warranty work for all the local shops that screw up, and they are the only shop from LA to SD that Formula One allows to use the film they are using.
Great shop, my GTO was $200, Adri's car w/ painted matrix was $240, completely reasonable for quality work IMO

wow that is the shitiest tint job i have seen, my friend tinted his own windows and they came out better than that.
the glass should be replaced,
the dots is a problem,
i had the dots on the back tinted, the guy used a glue stick and said its pretty much hit or miss if it works.
he later added a custom cut black vinyl strip which covered it up.
you have every right to get that fixed, if it is a brand new car i would def bitch a lot about it, filling it isn't gonna be a longterm solution. hopefully you paid with a CC or cash with a receipt. take it to court if you have to, the threat should make them pay up. also who knows if they scratch the hell out of the windows when they remove it?

My boss, a generally knowledgable and handy guy, says that they can buff scratches out of glass... anybody back this up?

Well, no bitching was needed. I talked to the guy yesterday and he sounded pissed at the guys and ready to make things right with me. When I showed up this morning he walked around the car for a minute, shaking his head. He took the car back already and he's replacing the back glass and the quarter windows (his shop is attached to a glass shop and I guess they have something worked out), and then he's re-tinting all but the front two. He's also disconnecting the 3rd brake light and tinting behind it. For my troubles, he's also going to detail it for me.

Sounds like a stand up guy. It's nice to see people out there who value the customer more than the bottom line. These places are harder and harder to find.

Hopefully they are smart and tint the window before putting it in

I'd give them a call and suggest it if I knew of a way to make him see the 
smiley mid-conversation.

Car looks better than the day I drove it home. They tinted all the glass before installing it and disconnected the third brake light. Detailed the whole thing. I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow, but in the meantime I'm loving it. I feel like I just got a new car again.

That's what separates the good from the rest; how they take care of the customer when things get fucked up.

Maybe this was all a big setup.
They fuck up the car.
Customer gets pissed.
They take care of the customer, by going the extra mile.
Customer tells everyone to go to shop.
Glad you got your car the way you wanted it.
