This is why you say NO to free dealership washes!
So I picked up my car this weekend from a nearby dealership...
Enjoy the pictures:

I hope a bill was sent to the dealership, that was hacked by them!
Cheers, GREG

I'm very thankful mine was perfectly polished when I picked it up, not a scratch or swirl anywhere. It was probably the best pre-delivery prep I've ever experienced. Now no one has or will ever touch it but me.
Nice job bringing yours back from the dark side... I'd send the dealer an invoice for your time!

Looks like someone just used that wheel-washing-brush-on-a-stick on the entire car.

I paid someone to do it professionally. Totally worth the money and the dealer is cutting me a check for the polishing as we speak. |

It was good of the dealership to own up to the damage. I'm happy your horror story had a happy ending!
