What did the dealership do give you a complimentary carwash? Wow you would think a least their detailers no car care. I hope you find someone. Have a great day!

Dang, sorry to hear about this. I remember when I asked my service advisor about the detailing service they offered and he said, "Honestly, I wouldn't detail any car here. They'll make it worse than it already is."

If you don't find someone near you, you should definitely consider detailing yourself! Take a look at some of Junkman's videos to learn the process of using a Porter Cable, then get some Adam's Polishes products to use with the PC.

It's very easy to remove the swirl marks with the PC and it will leave no evidence of the dealer ever touching it.

I have no idea how far away that is. Geography wasn't my best subject in school. But it just sounds like it's far away.
