We are currently in the market for a new car for the wife and it is quite disgusting the condition some of the these "new" cars are in, whether $15,000 or $80,000... At one point, one of the sales guys asked her if she would be opposed to ordering the car, she just stared at him blinking for a bit and I said "No, we wouldn't be." Apparently the only thing she could think of to say was that she would have been opposed to buying the swirled paint in front of us, so she remained silent.

As a testament to her training, she also get quite mad at our current dealership when they washed her car recently. In her defense, we have never told that dealership to wash the car because they never previously had the capability. I think she will have a nice sign for them next time. I got home and heard a constant whining (the car is water spotted,they didn't wipe the door jambs, they probably scratched it....).

I noticed that you have an Acura as well. I have several of them too and I did notice that Acura, like some other car manufacturers place some kind of protection on the hood, roof and trunk to keep them clean so they're ready to sell even though they will still detail them when you purchase one.

I had a horrible experience looking for a 300 C years ago. All of them were dirty and some even had quite a few miles on them. One sales manager told me they test them before the sell them. The car had 100 miles on it to boot. Needless to say, I left.

These sales people; not all of them, don't realize that customers are paying quite a few dollars for these cars and that they should be prepped better.

I have also seen some cars with scratches on them. No doubt trying to squeeze them into those tight spots.
 
Lol, we bought a new Avalanche yesterday. At one point the salesman hot in it to put gas in it. My wife ran outside and told him not to wash it!!!

We took it straight home and she patiently waited till I could wash, clay, and seal it...
 
I'm training my girlfriend at the moment, although I may have an unfair advantage as she is a mechanical engineer ;)
 
My wife is slowly catching on.. Recently traded in my car that was always kept in the garage.. babied and always clean.. Well now the new car which is hers has recently been compounded, polished, glazed, and sealed... and it's parked in the Garage.. She won't let the kids near it! haha.
 
When I am coaching my wife, my advices enter through her right ear at 100 mph and exit by her left ear at 300 mph...
