View Full Version : Dealership Strikes Again, Again
I just detailed this new BMW 750Li. Though it had a couple bad washes mixed in, the buffer swirls on this baby were installed by the same dealership that installed them on the thread I started a while back "dealership strikes again." This time there weren`t soo bad, but they were quite noticable in person.
Will take "after" pictures today since I didn`t get a chance to yesterday.

Ouch - some pretty bad marring there...
Though I have seen much worse coming out of dealerships - here`s the door of a Pug 206 that was machine polished by a dealer and then a bodyshop...

I was at a dealership about 2 weeks ago, brand new vette on the showroom floor covered in swirls.
It`s hard to see the buffer halograms in my above pic, but trust me, in person they were plenty noticable. "After" pics coming soon.

i was at a mall last week and noticed a brand new black bmw 3 parked way off to the side, as the sun was glaring down on the holograms ALL over the hood that makes that ^ look petty. was tempted to leave my number...
I`ve left my number many times in that scenario...but never any luck.

nice, that is why no one will every work on my paint, unless I trust them with all I got. The mini dealer in dallas was tring to apologise to me about not having my car clean for me when I went to pick it up, I just told them "trust me ya`ll did your selves a favor by not touching it, I`m super picky about who washs my car" the dude just gave me a blank stare...

Whenever my car goes into the dealership for servicing, I get them to put "Do Not Wash!" on hte job card and they put a sign on the dashboard for me too... They thought I was nuts until the saw the car and I explained why I didn`t want it touched - they understand now and comment on how well the car looks when it goes in which is nice. :)
