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.

Hope you enjoyed this one.
I love seeing a good detail, especially on a car like this. Those clear car bras are nice, but how long do they hold up before they need to be replaced?
we tell customers 3-5 years depending on how the customer takes care of the film and usage on the car.
