Amazing what you can achieve with a monkey and a sponge.Was at a main VW dealer today looking at a brand new Passat,you would have thought they had been at it with a Brillo pad!!

Yup and rather annoying me. So its going to be a 2 stage attack. After this wekends aborted attempt with 203s by hand (foofing hard work!!!!!)
1) get some BF polish and cross my fingers that it hides most of them.
2) In sept attack the whole car with a kestrel and 203s.

what they will say is that you must have washed in the time you have had it and it wasn't like that when it left the showroom or else you would have said something so you must have done it.

Dealers usually employ some Polish dude on min wage and tell him he's got 50 cars to wash in a day or something stupid like that. Mr Polish (or other immigrant worker - not to be discriminitive) will then simply fill his manky bucket with water and fairy liquid, and use the manky old sponge thrown in a corner somewhere. And if you're lucky, you may get a polish using some grotty old ripped cotton t-shirt or an angle grinder with a polishing pad stuck to it.

This is the reason why when I leave a car at a dealers for a service I always ask them not to wash it.

Nothing surprises me these days... we've seen it all, and it's actually rather depressing. When the day comes that I can afford my first proper nice car I'm not going to enjoy the buying process one little bit...

When I turned up the Sales man was going over it with a Chamios!!!
Didn't look bad at all when I picked it up, then I got it into strong sunlight a few weeks later.
Still, it means I can get the car to my standards in Sept.
