Re: Audi TTRS received a heavy dose of hack work
That is standard auto dealership "detail department" buffing. I've seen it first hand at one of the Mercedes Benz dealerships that I do wheel repair work for. Almost every car they have for sale on their pre-owned lot looks exactly like that. It's truly a shame to say the least, and it is all a result of the dealership wanting a service performed as cheaply as possible. The guys that I know at the Benz dealer I mentioned above that work in the detail department are all spanish and speak very little english. The "detail department" is actually a sub-contractor that the dealership uses, and that's how it is just about everywhere I go. They use cheap bulk chemicals because they do full details(wash exterior, clean wheels, buff exterior, clean interior, ect.) for $100. When you get into the world of used car recon work for automotive dealerships you see some real hack work. I question how they get away with it. The only thing I can think of is that most of the general population just doesn't know any better. I think most people notice it, but they don't actually know what it is to they assume it's normal. I actually watched a guy buff the hood on a black infiniti g37s. 5 dots of polish on an old stained greenish yellow pad and he proceeded to do the whole hood all in one shot. It went from fine to dry buffed disaster in about 2 minutes flat. Took everything I had to not say anything. What most dealership "detail" departments do is not detailing or anything even remotely close. It's washing a car on a level pretty similar to what a drive through car wash at a gas station would do. AND THESE GUYS ARE WORKING WITH $100,000.00+ CARS FROM TIME TO TIME!

It does not matter if its 20,000 or 200,000 you should be maintaining it, (my opinion),However, they work they do is down right crap. Its killing their image with crap work

You as in "the owner of the vehicle"? I agree, but most people don't care to do it themselves. The other day I saw a 2012 ML350 in for a service that looked like it hadn't been washed since it's last service 10,000 miles ago. I thought the front wheels were plasti-dipped black, but upon closer inspection it was just brake dust making them look matte black/brown. It never ceases to amaze me how poorly people treat cars that they pay so much for; and you really see it with mercedes because most of the people that own them (in my experience at least) can't afford them to begin with, and really can't afford to maintain them.
