Lately I have spoken with a few different people who are surprised at just how much work needs to go into a "brand new" car to have it ready by our standards.
Here is something most new car owners may not consider or even be aware of:
Once they arrive at the dealer, it can take up to another two weeks for the dealer to have it ready for the lot.
Finally, it's just a matter of how long it takes for somebody to purchase it. It could be three days, it could be four months.
This is not even taking into account imports that have to be shipped by boat, rail, and then by truck.
So you can see that by the time you purchase the vehicle, it could be at least three months old. Maybe more.
This is the reason we recommend the 5 step paint care even on "brand new" cars.

New cars are not as new as you think
Sure, they have never been owned before but they are at least a month old the day you sign the papers and drive off with it. A month at the very least. Most vehicles, once they are produced, are going to sit in a giant parking lot just outside the factory for at least one month (maybe more considering how slow car sales are right now). Then, they must be shipped which can take one to two weeks. Once they arrive at the dealer, it can take up to another two weeks for the dealer to have it ready for the lot.
