Caught Red handed - unbelievable but true BMW 5 series hacked by Dealership

[KC@detailien]

My friend just got the Ultimate Driving Machine, 4 months ago.....from the local BMW distributor...called me over to help him to detail his ride, my apologies for the delay As my whole family has chicken pox, was boiled down in ferrying them here there for medical attention & care taker ….



Upon arrival ……CSI begins

My friend invited 3 of his buddies over to look see (aka to learn & pick up as much knowledge in car detailing from me like a small crash course) but some how they became a witness of what is about to take place…..



(Hopefully I will not be the victim of which “ the witness became ACCUSSED”)



I believe strongly in EMPOWERING others...as we can’t be there forever to help or assist, therefore every owner should rise up & take their places & position of the right care





Looking great from a distant again..



Black is the most obvious colour you ever want to find fault....

Initially, my friend asked me to come over to do my prep on his new ride, perhaps just a wax & interior dressing…....kinda of light detail...

I have been delaying my detailing schedule for him for weeks, sorry about it buddy.

As this ride was not detailing prior anyone before, so the most obvious was... done by the local BWW distributor & it was hacked......

kindly look beyond the tunnel...there is light there & found my friend car paint damaged.....HOLOGRAM ALL OVER THE RIDE

How can such an incident happen, to such a reputable distriibutor???????@#!$%^&&@*(@ opps..that is just alienation language...



http://lh5.ggpht.com/_RsduO4BD4FA/TExQDQfDbFI/AAAAAAAAKJw/wI8wVpoyI8o/s800/hologram%202.JPG

I guess both the owner & the distributor is not aware of this....

that the car was obviously sent to some detailing shop, having untrain & unskillful staff to handle....

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_RsduO4BD4FA/TExQFBCOgPI/AAAAAAAAKJ0/TXxkAAklMAg/s800/IMG_1100.JPG

As promised to my buddy, i would write up, the routine care for the car....





1. there is no PHD required, just some patience & plenty of PASSION

2. weekkly wash

3. montly Wax

4. avoid road side car wash, if you dont have the time, leave it till you have the slot of a wash...better late than never

5. interior - bi weekly wipe down with damp microfibers & bi monthly condition it with the gold class conditioner....apply sparingly & spread evenly & buff off



avoid...oily drop on the leather surface - the number one Enemy of leather, wipe off immediately.. straps all your children & baby in the proper seats...but does not apply for your mature family ya





6.dust the carpet weekly...if there is soil soak on to it...clean it with damp cloth & let it air dry..



any stains canbe avoided by your quick respond...pls avoid coffee & tea..stained drinks in the car...here pls dont drink drive



love her like youself & she will be failtful to run for years to come



Have lots of fun & congrats for you have taken OWNERSHIP of the car

Dealership hacked cars are very typical here too. Nice job fixing the damage. :)

I am beyond amazed at the lack of quality and detail provided by the dealerships "Detail" department. I worked on a Maserati Quattroporte GT S that a client had recently taken in to be serviced. And sure thing... They washed it. With a brick. He was sick. It took me a little over 4 hours just to correct what the dealership had inflicted. He passed my bill on to the dealership and is still waiting for a response.
