    Re: Buying a new car.....

    You can say that again....

    When I bought my new car last year, it had lots of swirls and holograms as I observed the paint when picking up the car at the dealership.

    I think dealerships do more damage than good to our cars lol.

    After polishing and sealing it however...the new car showroom shine is a beauty!

    Enjoy the new whip buddy.

    Buying a new car.....

    Yeah, agree with this. Where i come from, most car dealers dont know much about detailing... Albeit this might be expected cause even 'detailing' shops dont know crap as well.
    It's kind of frustrating to have to leave your car with the dealer for its regular maintenance schedule only to go back and see that they've swirled it all up with their 'premium' wash... And they think they've done you a favor. LOL

    After the test drive I looked over the paint, the salesperson asked if there was a problem, I said I'm not sure yet. Lol
    Then they're they were, swirls, she said oh that's normal, I said it shouldn't be, she didn't know what to say.
    I told her most of her cars on the lot has them, she said she never had a customer bring this up and that they were just excited that they were getting a new ride.
    I told her it wasn't her faults but the fault if the "system "

    Congrats on the new ride, love the pic of the iQ you posted, proof that wheels do EVERYTHING for a car, they need to sell one that looks like that, with the tire/wheel package and the rear diffuser and center exhaust

    Any more pics of your car from the outside?
