On my way to a job this morning, I passed this Tahoe, and had to stop and get some pictures
Is that fancy striping job included in that price?

Dear Lord.....
Why would they even have "buffed" that in the first place? Thankfully most dealers around here don't attempt to buff new cars, they just use a nice glaze to cover the wash swirls. Better than wash marring + holograms I guess...

They were closed. I figured after this thread gets a few responses (like yours), I'll email the link to that dealer's GM.

Such a horrible job on such a awesome SUV. I love the look of the new Tahoes.

Atleast the wheels look clean!
unfortunetly thats the quality of most dealerships detailers....
my feelings on this are that these dealerships keep working on smaller and smaller profit margins to beat the next dealer out by $100.00 on a deal..... we ourselves in our never ending pursuit of the lowest car price possible have created this....if dealers all just charged the same price and that price was reasonable allowing them to make a few bucks on it then maybe they could afford to hire better qualified Deatilers....i have some family and friends in the dealership business and this although sad is true....
for 10 years i worked as a new boat prep guy/tech in a high end boat dealership....this dealer did not beat everyone elses price just to sell a boat...instead he expleained what we did that made us more valueable and let our reputation speak volumes....i was allowed to basically do whatever it took to make sure the boat was RIGHT before it was delivered......unfortunetly most other dealers did and do not think this way....

What's funny is that 90% of the people out there; 1 - won't care or 2 - wouldn't even realize they are driving a "swirled orgy Tahoe."

Oh my god, that is horrible, and people think that new cars don't need detailing. That dealer can't be serious about selling that thing. It would be a good bargaining chip though for someone who could buy it then correct it themselves.

It's a shame. Dealers are better off not even touching then at all. They should have a TSB on it. DO NOT BUFF CARS! I do not know what's worst, the deep swirls from a dirty sandy wool pad or the silicone damaging polishes/wax they use?
I had a customer with a 08 black CTS that was seriously hammered by the dealer (10 times worst than this) and whatever they used embedded deeply into the paint making the swirls look blue. It took 40 hours to remove it from the paint and polish it out. I feel bad that the customer got stuck with that huge bill and not the dealer.

Best advice ever.
I always chuckle when I see holograms like this. It's looks like they gave an 8 year old with ADHD a buffer with a wool pad and said go to work.
