Do I ask dealer not to prepare - mickydd - 04-02-2012 10:49pm
OK, Looking good for 24th Feb delivery.
Do I ask the dealer not to prepare vehicle and arrange for detailing to be done at dealers. Apparently, even brand new cars can benefit from clay bar and a full preparation. Any thoughts>??????

Yes don't let them prepare the car, I had a number of swirls on delivery, which I have now removed.

I've told them I will prep myself but I will use my standard bits - no overpriced detailing products!

If my dealer gave me a car with swirls I'd give it back to them to rectify

I agree but I don't want them to touch it again. I have sorted it out myself.

I'm getting a detailer to prep the car at the dealership before I take delivery. They know each other and I can be assured of a thorough inspection of the finish before I accept the car.

Do it yourself or get a detailer in, and be quite forceful if you're not having it detailed by your detailer at the dealership, because they will want you to pick up a gleaming motor and will do something to it to get it like that.
I'm planing to get a detailer in at my dealers, hoping not to offend their staff.
I'm a little bit anal over paint finish.

Yes and in particular make sure they don't remove the white plastic from the gloss black pillars as they marr VERY easily

Most dealers take a dim view to outside valeters on their site!
A new car shoudn't need a "Detail" it should just require decent preparation. I am anal regarding my cars but not that bad.

I plan on getting mine detailed before collection so I have a full third party view of the paintwork before I take the car. Detailer is happy, not told the dealer yet!
