<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Less than a thousand miles and "well maintained..." what would you expect?

This is exactly what a customer would think when picking up their brand new Audi from the dealership. Fresh off of the showroom floor, delicately handled and prepared for you to come take her home. No new car deserves to be covered in severe gloss reducing swirls. The proud owner of this brand new German driving machine wanted to protect his investment and prevent any further damage.

Always take measurements! You never know what you are working with until you do.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Through this detail I found that I really love how HD Adapt performs on Brilliant Black paint. I used to enjoy using Menzerna FG400, PF2500, and SF4500. But in this case, I was able to use HD Adapt along with a Microfiber Cutting pad followed by HD Adapt on Orange. Obviously speed was a huge factor and if I used anything above 4 on my Rupes, I would get very fine hazing. Slow and steady wins the race!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">I also could not believe the amount of damage inflicted on such a new car. It is a shame that the dealership would ever let a vehicle leave looking like this, ever.

Total time from start to finish:<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"> 20 hours
Total vehicle mileage:<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"> ~700 miles
Protected with:<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"> Opti-Coat Pro 5 Year Warranty

Unfortunately, I see new vehicle that look (at least) that bad all the time.  My wife once asked the salesman "can you actually *sell* cars that are in that condition? Who would buy that?"  He didn't know what she meant.. (and yeah, she explained it to him :lol: ).  The car in question was a six-figure one too.
