Very well said Dan. I requested the dealership do not wash my car during the pre-delivery inspection and keep all the protective films on when I picked it up, so they could not add any swirl marks on by their rough wash 😆 Peeled all the films by myself and did a proper 2 buckets wash which is very satisfying. By the way, I sent an enquiry on the website asking for a quote for ceramic coating (Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra) a brand new Kia Stinger, and looking forward to hear from you soon 🙂
Hey Simon! Looks like we are playing some phone tag haha hopefully catch you soon man. And yes you’ve done the right thing, it’s also super satisfying pulling all the plastics off yourself! 👌🏼
Thanks for this. I've put a deposit down for a new car that will be delivered next year. I was rushed at the dealership with their extended warranties and protection packages. It sounded good at the time but I've since been researching into each item they offer and it no longer sounds worth it at all. Thousands of dollars for items that I won't even need and/or not know about how it's applied. I will cancel the protection plan and go with a local detailing shop. Thanks again!
Awesome, what car have you got on order? We completely agree. Most of the time you will overpay for underwhelming performance with the dealership, whereas if you go with a reputable shop you will get amazing performance for generally a better price! I tell potential clients to either spend their money with a good shop or don't do it at all.
@@DeluxeDetail Ioniq 5. Long wait but hopefully by then interest rates are lower. The dealership finance manager hasn't been returning my calls lol. Likely realizes I want to back out of the add ons.
@@tyson6808 Beautiful car! Yeah wait times are annoying at the moment. I’m waiting 10-12 months for a new Corolla Cross Hybrid. How long is the wait on an Ioniq5? Yeah they’re good at avoiding you when it suits them! Just send them a nice email declining all protection add ons and ask for them to remove it from your contract. Cc your sales person in and I’m sure they’ll be on the phone quick. 😂
@@DeluxeDetail Corolla Crosses are really nice! Dealership estimates between 12 and 18 months here in Ontario. Pretty rough. Two years left on our CRV lease so should work out fine.
Yeah we got the Atmos (top spec) with moon roof, heated seats, digital dash etc so it’s something to look forward to! 12-18 months is a bit long but sadly it’s just the way for anything good these days. At least it works in with your current lease and who knows there might be some nice updates to a newer model year for you!
Most definitely. We still do a strip wash and clay the vehicle. Machine polishing process is the same but may be quicker due to less defects on the car, but that’s not always the case. Whether it’s a new or used car our prep stages are the same but depending on how contaminated the car is impacts how we approach it.
Hey mate, did you pay them for paint protection? If you aren't happy I would strongly recommend going back and causing a scene if you paid good money for it!
Thanks Dan, great piece. Nice workshop btw. Cheers.
Thanks for the feedback mate! Yep, it’s definitely a nice place to work everyday. 😊👌🏼

Where are you located? Looking for a reputable detailer in Akron/Canton, Ohio.
Do you guys have a shop in Melbourne?
Hey Billy! Unfortunately not mate, but if you need a recommendation let us know! 👌🏼
Is the prep the same for a brand new car?

Wish I had watched this before I bought the coating for my car.
Good video but please stop that annoying background music that’s way too loud 4:24
it distracts from what you are saying
Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback, we will work on that. :)
I am very disappointed to dealership they did my car a couple days.it’s look like just a car wash they did.
