Collecting A new car may seems to be a joyous occasion and having to share with your beloved it wonderful moments!

stained side steps

more stains from side steps, cant believe from a new car??? new car doesnt means just built...this is a CBU unit , for it came a long long way! shipment from Germany, by sea, held up at custom dock till it is clear, then drove to stock yard, then deliver to state dealer and thus the local dealer





imagine the amount of contaminats it was exposed to

the culprit ....anti rust dropping ....stained ....

many would not have imagine why? and even some may ask why does a new car must be detail prior delivery
some of you may have many answers....eg

the car from Germany Manufacturing plant produce and kept the stock in the yard, later was transfers to dock at harbor! boarded the ship hence....arriving to bonded area! later transfers to HQ/ Capital stock yard and hence fort to dealer branch ...being exposed to many sun rain in the open area
the contaminant from rain and industrial fall out may have smear and created some contaminant/stains

henceforth was sent to a detailer....ended whacked while it being detail



see it for yourself grease like anti rust
