    2013 VW Passat. Owner has had this car a while, plus it sat on the dealer's lot for several months. The owner seems to have the proper wash technique down (mostly uses ONR) but the time on the dealer's lot meant lots of touching by their people and 99 times out of 100, that's not good. Paint...
