Checked out the Mercedes in the sun today, note no wax or sealant on the car.The hood had been stripped after polishing. Looks like 95% of the holograms are gone!

Your going to have dusting with m105 and an orange pad. Tape off trim and cover sensitive cracks and areas that will get filled with dust. Wash after compounding!

Yea the owner was really pissed off! Sorry if it was confusing..

Sounds like you aren't fit to start a part time detailing business. Your going to need to go the extra mile. If you only want to do 1 detail a month fine. Schedule how you like. Like others said spend 10 dollars on business cards. Make a little detailing menu. I'd advise to simply push a Wash...

Sorry if Images looked a little small, hopefully this original is better.. Was taken with an iPhone 5. ... Nope no better.

So we've all probably seen worse, but still a horror story so sit back and enjoy. I work at a Porsche store, one of the sales guys got his Mercedes "detailed" by one of the "detailers".. To make a long story short he used microfiber compound with a heavy cutting pad on a rotary buffer. He tore...

Sometimes when I see really bad holograms, I take a picture! This is one of those moments. Poor audi... If anyone has some similar pictures feel free to share them in this thread

One light scratch from the factory got polished with XMT #2. Trouble areas (Hood, trunk etc.) received p40 via a white polishing pad, increasing the pad took care of the micro imperfections without having to use a more aggressive polish. The whole car got polished with p40 via a Finishing pad...

What that's a huge difference. excellent work! Have another beer on me.

Yea motor trend tested this performance model 0-60 at 3.9! It's just instant power. I work for a Porsche dealer and even the new 911s power doesn't make me feel like the tesla did.

I just had to chance to detail a new Tesla Model S, Performance model, and I couldn't pass that up! Talk about an amazing car. Anyhow, being a black car and been to a few corner car washes, the car had some factory paint imperfections, as well as some micro RIDS. I didn't document the detail...

And to anyone who said dealers don't have this time or money, dealerships do, at least ours does, we have the time in our days , we detail maybe a few used cars a week, so the times there. Easy.

Cleveland is my home town, dealership is in California.

Ryan, thanks that's basically what I was concerned about. Perhaps it would be better to talk to the general manager first.. The last thing I want to do is piss management off going behind their backs to the owner!! I don't want to make enemies, I work with the detailers so it's something I need...

Thanks for everyone chiming in haha... Every new car should be delivered new. But lets face it, if we were to expect any dealership to do that, it would be Porsche. Major volume dealership like Hondas sell high volume, they have automatic car washes etc. Porsche sells less but we do get busy...
