Default New Car Prep Work Done!!!

Having owned the car for almost a month, I think it's time for me to send her out to have some new car prep work done. Although this kind of preparation was done before the delivery by the dealership, I never really trust their work. As a result in the past weekend I dropped her off at my detailers' place and got some proper detail work done.

If any local enthusiast is looking for some decent detailing job done, pls pm me as my detailer have taken cared of all my previous vehicles. He has always done a marvelous job.

Anywasy, here are some pics of the car before the work.









Swirls on the car, it's pretty hard to see on a white car, so mind the crappy pic.



During the wash~~~~




The Result!!!!!!!!!!!Sorry for the pic as it was 10 PM when the work was finally done (I dropped her off at 3PM)

What exactly are we looking at here? It appears your car was dirty and then you dropped it off at someone's house and they washed and polished it? What exactly did they do?

Looks good.

Nice car and looks great after! Beauty! Definitely not new car prep though. This is just a cleaning/detail of a dirty car.
