Should you detail a brand new car? YES!

This question has come up many times here and I have also wondered the same thing. Buying a new car gives you the illusion that the car suddenly appeared from the factory at the moment the salesperson gives you the key.

I'm currently in the process of buying a new car, so I was at the dealership trying to decide between a couple of colors. You would not believe how dirty these cars were. These were all brand new '07s, but you wouldn't think so by looking at them. They were covered in dirt, there were bird droppings on the hoods...baking in the sun. One car looked like an eagle must have flown by and did it's thing on the hood.

Fortunately the car I'm getting is coming from another location!

Based on what I saw, yes, the first thing you should do is get your car detailed.

Re: Should you detail a brand new car? YES!

When we picked our 2006 Cobalt from the dealership they took it back and detailed it. I told him he doesn't have to do it. Because I was going to do a full detail on it. The reason I said that is because I know they don't do a go job on them. Especially when it come's to waxing them. I want to make sure our car's have nothing but the great protection on them. And when I mean great protection I mean MEGUIAR'S.

you got it.

dealers are all about HIGH VOLUME. in my eyes HIGH VOLUMES from dealers = scratches.

unless you Mike Phillips and the likes of these guys around here who do it for a living, then HIGH VOLUME = scratches.

when I picked up my car i didn't want them to do it because i know what would happen. and of course they did and left a little scratch that i took care of on the back bumper.

i detailed it the first day.
