Dealership attacks a brand new 2014 Audi S4!

Got your attention ; ). Here we have a brand new 2014 Audi S4 that came to us for new car prep which turned into a full paint correction, Opti Coat, and Xpel Ultimate Installation.

What we thought would be an easy routine job turned into much more. The dealer induced a lot of linear scratches from doing the customer a favor and removing snow off the car at deliver, unfortunately (I see this a lot) the dealer delivered the car at night....... Please join us for another dealer fix write up.

I'll let the photos do the talking now.

fantastic work as always... you guys need something more challenging. you're at the top of the car detailing game... you need some contracts with an airline company.

That came out great!! The clean pillars make a big difference . And who says u cant polish a turd?..lol. You are great at what you do and you do it well. Thanks for the pics

What the heck did they use to remove the snow - barbed wire? I know snow removal brushes can swirl and scratch, but it looks like they applied significant pressure on whatever they used.

Excellent work correcting the damage!
