Ntg Posted 23March, 2018 Report Share Posted 23March, 2018 Checked mine out at Porsche Gold Coast yesterday,one day before leaving for two weeks holidays so unfortunately I've only got 5 pictures of it in delivery wrapping and dirty to keep me sane. Miami Blue is one fantastic colour,very happy and anthracite trim and Miami belts do the trick nicely, paint correction and ppf while I'm away.. cant wait!!

Needed a break so off to the blue mountains for climbing and hiking trip,even a new Gt3 couldn't stop me! heard lots of reports about the not so good paint finish on the new P cars lately(not just Gt cars either)they all need a cut and detail to remove swirl marks so the guys at pcgc tell me! surprising and disturbing on a near $400k car! your welcome to go kick,definitely worth a look.bummer is having to collect the car mid commonwealth games next week!

sleazius Posted 27March, 2018 Report Share Posted 27March, 2018 Paint on mine needed correction also. Swirls all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the process is at a PC but when I did a detailing course the facilitator mentioned the in-house detailer usually does the final polish before delivery. We also got told a story of a dealership in-house detailer that incorrectly applied a ceramic coating that subsequently wrote off the car!! :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tips Posted 27March, 2018 Report Share Posted 27March, 2018 Not limited to P cars. Our new AMG was not as well prepared as I would expect when delivered, marks and a scratch. It’s getting paint correction prior to being clear wrapped in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 27March, 2018 Report Share Posted 27March, 2018 The fact that mine is black made it worse. Very easy to see them under the Porsche down lights. Either way mine went in for full Xpel so I had it corrected before it was covered. Speaking of, haven't driven in a week. Going to take it for a run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2000 Posted 27March, 2018 Report Share Posted 27March, 2018 I think most car buyers (including P car buyers) wouldn't notice bad paint preparation (not including obvious scratches) so the dealers don't try too hard. The same car buyers take their cars for a wash at the local "hand" car wash and don't notice that when they drive out their shiny, clean car looks like a spider has spun a web on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed particularly bad orange peel paint on new Toyotas, jeeps and Mazdas lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve given up servicing in Brisbane so I take the Gt3 and GTS to the Gold Coast for serving at the same time , but last 2 times by the time they get home 1/ both cars are black with tire shine from one end to the other 2/ The wash if they got one was pathetic I’d always told Pcb never to wash my cars and now seems Gold Coast has gone down the same path. Can’t believe they struggle so much with the simple things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do exactly that, leave the service adviser with my printed out list of exactly what is to be done and in the case of car wash - Not to be done as well as leave an A4 page on top of the dash with the words Do Not Wash or Clean. A lesson learnt a long time ago when my wheels were badly scratched and the car was more dirty after the dealer wash ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
