This is how my new truck should have been....

[KickToTheJunk]

.... When I drove it off the damned lot!

After about 17 hours of correcting swirls, micro swirls, scuffs, surface scratches, water scale, bird bomb etchings, nuclear fallout, moderate to sever plaque psoriasis.... You name it...

I (Mostly) used Adam's Polishes. I Do not have any decent before pics. It's been overcast and hard to get a good photo of micro-swirls with my lighting. I HAVE NoT put the glaze or wax on yet. Just finished the Machine Super Sealant.

It will sit there... Tomorrow, after I finish my jobs I have to do... I will do the BG and Americana.

Ignore the bottom 3 photos.. I'm learning tapatalk.

Many " detailers" at dealerships seem to confuse steel wool with microfiber towels. It scares me every time I think of a dealership touching the surface of my truck.

My dealer washes a car when it's been sold. Never while its on the lot.

Right, thats the way it should have came off the lot. Id let the dealer know that when you fill out the customer review.

Great work!

It's a shame that "new" vehicles need this kind of attention...but if they didn't, we'd have to find a new hobby.

I did. Chrysler sent a survey (online ) and was brutally honest while filling it out.m

Got a call the next day from the sales manager. Told him my grievances. He said he's under the heat to make them right.

Told him the only way he could make the 'dirty scratched truck' 'issue right was to shine every car on that lot and treat the deserving buyers with respect when they deliver someone their new vehicle.

He cited weather. I pointed out how my trade-in, my wife's 300 and my work van are spotless inside-out and I run a business by myself. Excuses = lies.

Anyway. I'll be driving o the next town to another dealer.

My truck was half a$$ed washed, the rubber on the inside around the windows had a white chalky residue and the people who were supposed to clean it and fill it up. put 40 miles on it magically when the gas station was less than a mile down the road?

I didn't notice the mileage till I was pulling off the lot. Or a lot of grief would have been given. I did everything I could on the RAM surveys.

Um, do they not have an inside facility to detail before delivery like every other dealer?

My dealer told me up front they dont fill up the tanks anymore. So I made damn sure my trade was running on fumes when I turned over the keys.

I'm not sure, cause I don't know anything about the particular dealership, but I don't think outside or inside a facility would make any difference. I think it may be the mental giants doing the "detail" work. I know there are exceptions, but generally in my experience, the "wash rack or detail guys are usually the newly hired, less trained and worst paid of anyone in the shop----and their work shows it. For the run of the mill customer, just a wash job and a clean interior before delivery is just fine. It's just that some of us have a little higher expectations than that. Do it right or leave it the hell alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not trying to hijack or sidetrack, but how did you get the white residue off? I have the same thing but seems to keep coming back.
