    Ron, I am sorry to hear this. I would have more than likely gone basilisk. Glad you were able to handle it better.

    Oh fer....

    Sorry to read about that. If it`s "nutso", I`m guilty of it, too. Our dealership (BMW) is atrocious. Their wash guy is terrible, to the extent that I ask them to sign a guarantee that they wouldn`t do the PDI prep on the paint when any of our cars initially arrive at their establishment. They are fine with it - our Sales Advisor is all too willing to acknowledge that they are deficient in that area - the problem is, they say (and I can sort of understand that), is that the vast majority of buyers wouldn`t even notice, and wouldn`t demand that level of perfection, so to hire someone that can actually detail a car, wouldn`t be worth it to them. Tragic. The number of brand new high-end BMWs I have seen in the showroom with big red bows, ready for delivery, and yet with myriad defects all over them, is alarming.

    Hope the correction process is an easy one for ya, Ron. Good luck.

    BMW dealer I used in CT was like that too. They all knew, just take the crap off the windows so I could see to take em home. One guy there made the mistake at one of my service appts and washed my JB 530, in winter time.... There is an old thread here called something like "It`s a cover up" that deals wit that one.

    BMW Jet Black is the softest thing known to mankind, the rest of the colors are hard as diamonds. If you can get a jb bmw perfect, you are GOOD !

    I`m late to this....

    Ronkh- Sorry to hear about that.

    These horror stories do make me appreciate the guys/dealers who work on my stuff, I simply DO NOT have any problems with such things happening.

    Paint.net ( Redirecting ...)

    It`s essentially a simpler (older) Photoshop clone. It`s free though and, for the price, it`s amazing. Or, if you`d like, I could do it for you, only takes a couple minutes.

    I always dread getting a car from a shop... there`s always something dirty/messed up. On one hand, I am a mechanic and understand (normally mediocre work conditions at best and speed is highly emphasized). On the other hand though, really?
