@nzRCreviews 3 года назад

I used to work for an flagship Mercedes dealership, We washed the cars with a broom. Yup, foam and a broom. Brand new G-Waggons still wrapped in shipping plastic would get ripped off, and immedietly washed with a broom. Sadly this is how dealer treats cars. We sold paint protection packages for new and used cars around $2000nzd ($1250 USD) which was just a one stage cut and a middle range ceramic coating. I tried bringing the damage being done to the dealers attention, but it would cost them more to wash and protect vehicles correctly then deal with the one or two complaints from customers that do notice.

@AnnKha 3 года назад

@littlediablo 3 года назад

Nice work Sandro, thanks for sharing. In my experience this is a very honest and accurate presentation of what dealerships have been pooping out for decades here in Straya. Let's not even go into how badly they fail at the mechanical stuff too.....pathetic.

@Nick210 3 года назад

To be fair, a demo car would’ve constantly been wiped down without lubrication and constantly washed using improper methods. Perhaps by the time they were ready to get rid of it, the damage done would’ve been well outside of the scope of their “detailer”

@CarCraftAutoDetailing 3 года назад

Yes I agree, I demo car is usually given a slight discount to a brand new car so you do have to accept that it’s been on display and in test drives. But it’s still a little beyond what any dealership should be offering to a buyer of a near new car condition wise.

@edwinguerrero3869 3 года назад

Sandro i can imagine when the owner comes to pick her up, he will be blown away just how good it looks 100% better than when he brought it from the showroom? Also with proper protection as well and all he has to do is bring it back to you for maintenance washes and the car will look like new for years?

@SamMBPBSB 3 года назад

Great video and very entertaining! The amount of swirls is definitely super high for such a newish car. Definitely can't wait for second video showing you correcting that heavily swirled paint. Also, can you do a future video on just stripping sealants and old ceramic coatings before apllying new protection? I would love to see and learn how to off a good ceramic coating or paint protection spray.

@pgill2682 3 года назад

Great video Sandro! I hate to say it , but working for dealerships in the past (Service Dep). We would always have clients that were upsold a " coating" or paint guard/protection from the sales department....come back to get it installed. It would hurt me to see people getting ripped off, but without doing any thinking or research people are equally responsible for falling into the trap. Yes i agree it is absolutely "criminal" how dealerships get away with this but they do....unfortunately. thank you for always educating and keeping it real Sandro!

@CarCraftAutoDetailing 3 года назад

Yes it’s unfortunately nothing uncommon but a lot of car lovers just aren’t into detailing and don’t have that awareness that detailing enthusiasts have. I guess there’s always blame on both sides but I think a lack of accountability to dealerships is the main culprit and most people just don’t want confrontation.

@tarcal87 3 года назад

Coming back to this after part 3 and damn... like it's not even the same car. Unbelievable job, you really meant "you get what you pay for." For the owner, it all came down to whether or not to trust another detailer again. I would think the chances of that is very low, spending money yet again on a full clean+detail+polish+ceramic coating just a few weeks later. Luckily, he did. Love it!

@777AndrewR 3 года назад

This seems to be trend. They do a horrible paint protection and when you go back to complain they tell you that you need a paint job instead. You freak out and pay out of your pocket for a complex paint correction. Time and time again. 🧐🧐🤔

@deramon1000 3 года назад

Most dealerships employ cheap hourly youths who have no clue how to do it properly to clean and protect their cars. The sales people usually think cleaning is below them and the mechanics say it's not their job.

@_EyeOfTheTiger 3 года назад

The problem isn't dealership specific. What happens is that inventory shuffles around as car inventory ages and is bought and sold by one dealer with another. This is why when you look up the VIN of a brand new car you might notice multiple dealerships listed as the first owner.

@bryangrose5490 3 года назад

@lo666zz 3 года назад

Mate, solid effort. In my humble opinion as a carpainter of 25 years. I'd be willing to put $20 on it that's it's either had a factory reclear or had a damage from delivery or test drives. I only say this as when you did your pre correction check the black hue was quite different between some of the panels. As in maybe a mixing black has been used instead of a full strength black tinter. Also with the peel being uniform possibly indicates clear being sprayed over the top of existing clear from factory. Car could've easily been resprayed in parts as being a black coverage is far easier than with say a silver or 3 layer or 4 layer tinted clear for that matter. Anywhoo looking forward to part 2. Thumbs up from me mate. Keep up the honesty re car dealers. Awesome work.

@05milmachine90 3 года назад

Seen so many cars like this parked inside the dealership get the dry wipe down or spray and wipe to keep the dust off. They end up worse than if they were left alone outside. Plus new GM paintwork is awful, combined with being black its a recipe for bad.

@Ozzcaddy 3 года назад

Once all the videos have been shown, the owner should refer it to the Dealership and request that they pay for the work that you completed. Also request a refund on the money paid for the Dealership ceramic coating costs. If they fail to do so, then refer it to the Victorian Consumer Authority, if that fails, the ACCC. And if all that fails, go to the various media outlets such as Current Affair. Businesses like this need to be held accountable. Even if the car is sold as a Demonstration car, the owner is still provided with the new car warranty. Thanks Sandro for highlighting the fact that it is a new car, it does not mean it does not come without paint imperfections or worse as you have highlighted in Part 1 of the series.

@kakashi99908 3 года назад

Hopefully the ceramic coating will add some decent hardness to that paint, jeez. I would definitely be ditching this car after the warranty period is up I am sure the paint wasn't the only thing thrashed around in those 200 miles.

Great video. I hope the owner has got there money back from the dealership. The condition of this car is a disgrace. Looking forward to part 2 of how you bring it back to life. I am thinking going off how swirled the paint is it is very soft paint. But I guess I will find out soon enough.

@Daniel-zv5rm 3 года назад

I done a solid red zl1 not long ago that was new the owner had someone do a 1 step and coating but the car was still horrendous. A big part of the reason is really they are not a new car at all. When they arrive at hsv all the panels are pulled off engine and Gearbox out re wired welding and repainting firewall their practically totally rebuilt so it makes sense for them to have marks because they are handled so much before the owner takes deleivery. That said the 1 in your case looks like the dealer washed it with a brick

@illusionzauto 3 года назад

you nailed it on the head bro. I have clients that get extremely critical when they call me and say their car has a ceramic coating and then want to give me a questionaire as if i don't know what products to wash a ceramic coated vehicle with or even how to wash it. When i do wash it, they are shocked when i tell them that their ceramic coating failed because there is absolutely no water sheeting or water beading. The dealerships are very criminal and probably keep the cars for days making the customer think the vehicle was really coated when it was just sprayed and wiped with some ceramic quick detail.

Honestly have seen this before on demo cars, they needed to be as clean possible for the showroom so they put them through the cheapest car wash around the corner every other day, or have an intern wash them by hand with a 20 year old sponge... We're talking high end VW's and Audi's here, before sale they would get another run through the old car wash and a Waxoyl treatment, just a generic seleant that didn't last longer then a month or 2.

My Sierra came out well with essence and a combo of blue and orange lake country’s (mind you this is my daily and I live in Canada with harsh winters so I just went with a paint enhancement but still turned out well and I only had 3 days in my shop with no customers booked over the holidays so I took advantage of the time). Happy New Years my friend 👊🏽.

I really do want to hear that the dealership coffed up at the very very least the money on the ceramic paint protection job that got supposedly done. The new owner of this beuty ZL1 should get compensated for his or her pride and joy to get the rejuvenation job you are about to do. So as to get that feeling of joy of a newly bought vehicle.

Great video. What mitt/sponge are you using? Also want to say thank you for your videos. It's a great resource and got me into detailing as a hobby. And it's free! Carpro and Waxit should be paying you for advertising. I basically get everything based on your recommendations from Waxit.

Thanks mate I appreciate it, and the wash pad was just a sample product so I unfortunately don’t have a name or link for it as yet.

@Themazcorner 3 года назад

That is just crazy! Maybe the micron reading was due to the "ceramic coating" lol.... If the paint was in that condition I wonder how the car was treated in general before the new owner picked it up. Great video as always mate. Btw do you have labocosmetica and Koch Chemie in AU? I have been trying some the line up from both brands and I have to say it's really good stuff.

@CarCraftAutoDetailing 3 года назад

Thanks and yes lol I very much doubt that the dealership coating influenced the readings. We had not had labocosmetica or Koch Chemie in Australia in the past but I’m sure if someone is now bringing them in. I have tried some of both brands in the past though and I did get a good initial impression.

I have a 2018 camaro and the paint is in amazing shape still. I heard they did some cheaper stuff with the 2019+ in order to save some money.

@biaggi150 3 года назад

You don’t have to speak with many people to realise how little knowledge there is out there about paint defects, correction and protection, even among dealers & repair shops. My car’s rear bumper was replaced recently, the paint shop did a great job with the painting and fitting, but then ruined it with heavy handed use of a rotary & compound, including 15cm of original paint on both rear wings. Pretty shocking! I’m just a weekend warrior but I managed to remove all of these defects with my basic DA and careful choice of abrasives.

@CarCraftAutoDetailing 3 года назад

Car manufacturers are great at producing cars, dealerships at selling, body shops at repairing/repainting them and detailers and correcting them. I’ve never met a spray painter that enjoys correcting paint or is great at it, and I’ve never met a detailer who is a fantastic spray painter. We all have our specialties and no one is great at everything because it’s takes a lot of time to get great in one specific area.

I purchased my very first new car back in July 2019 and the dealer tried to sell me paint protection.. I opted for a definite NO! They were going to charge me $1800 too. As car detailing is a hobby of mine I already had the appropriate products including ceramic coating so I did it all myself. 7 months later, my car beads every time I clean it, the interior is protected and probably looks better than what they would have done. Opt for a pro to detail your vehicle or if you're confident, do it yourself👍

pre inspection right now...... so tempted to skip to the end... this is going to be good!

@MrLincoln87 3 года назад

Just realised its a part 1 ...... DAMN IT!!! So.... maybe this car was left outside and got hailed on... then just full resprayed? Hence why the paint is so thicc ? Or was maybe it was painted on a friday ... laid on thick, then the dealer detailing ceramic coating was also on a friday, by the apprentice lol

@charlesbardforth6738 3 года назад

I agree a quality detailer with a quality coating is best. However, knowing a few dealership detailers, the issue is time. They are not given the time or resources to apply anything correctly. I have used a Sio2/sic dealership coating and applied it the best I could on my car (clay polished applied etc. I didn't pay for the coating) and it lasted for 3 years until I sold my car. However, I have seen some coatings from dealers that are no more than glorified armour all. For the money, detailer wins everytime. Ignore the model girls selling you the coating at the dealership

I went to my local Mazda dealership to have a look and i saw a floor mop in there so called 'Detailing Bay' That's why i have a sign saying (Do Not Wash or apply tyre shine) that i hang off the mirror.

Just more proof that you should never let the dealer touch your paint. Always surprised me that they know so little about caring for the paint on their own products.

@aarongood5496 3 года назад

You're right most of the time, but not always. I work for a dealership detailing cars. We not only detail the new and used cars that are sold, but we also do customer details. We are certified igl kenzo installers. We do things right here. But I can also tell you, no car is perfect straight from the factory. It's very unfortunate, but that's how it is.

@deanbennett5343 3 года назад

With the amount of paint on that I would be wondering if it had been repainted at the import centre. Possibly a special order colour that was cancelled and they couldn't sell it. Repainted black and then used as demo. For that paint to be marred so badly I would say it is super soft. I would have a look behind some trims in the boot area to see if I could find any evidence. I'm sure you will work your magic and make it as near perfect as possible.

@CarCraftAutoDetailing 3 года назад

If it was repainted then they completely pulled the car apart because all the jambs and around the trims show a bare chassis and panel paint job, so I doubt it but it’s still possible that something out of the ordinary like that happened.

Black paint on GM vehicles is really bad. I paint corrected 4 black Camaros last summer and was very surprised how easy the clear scratched

@TheOfficialDuBsTeC 3 года назад

maybe they put on the base coat 2x as a failure. OR the Dealer already let it Respray as a whole. The only thing I wouldnt do would be putting IPA on the Lights. It may destroys the UV protection - IPA in general shouldnt touch plastic. Otherwise its a really nice job! :)
