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.

I would have been so angry if that was my car, what the h*ll did they use to remove the snow? A shovel?

Glad for the owner that you guys could prep it up again. ;)

I was quite upset for the customer, but we were able to satisfy his needs.

dealer should have reimbursed the customer for that. and the first thing I'd throw away is the free advertisement I am doing for the dealer (plate frame).
