Nickfire20 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Yesterday, after 2weeks of negotiations, and absolutely no rush, I signed my life away again. Traded my Black 2016 Tahoe for...... A brand new (15miles) 2019 Summit White Chevy Tahoe RST 6.2L 440hp 460 ft lb torque 3.23 rear ratio Magnetic ride control 10 speed auto, w/ a manual mode 170amp Alternator 22” RST Wheels RST Black trim package (no chrome!) Jet Black interior Fully loaded(the only option, well there’s 2 it doesn’t have, automatic side steps, and Brembo brakes) Anyway, I asked that they not touch the paint and they were very understanding I rinsed foamed strip washed iron removed (it needs clayed in some spots, but I skipped this, because I dont have time to polish at the moment, and there are no swirls present) Guard and Glossed wheels.. WC TRC hit face and barrels blow dried topped with tire shine and CB 2.0 also hit all black trim, and front bumper and grill (future bug splatter concerns) with CB 2.0 quick Interior Detailer up front, rest tomorrow Clayed mitt/ glass sealant and boost windshield side and rear glass tomorrow when my daughter is napping Part of the deal, sorta, was that, my Black Tahoe would show up fully detailed, fluids topped off, good tires brakes and all, of course, this was all true and only 24k miles kn the thing ? First pic, just after I got it home after work this morning, hard to tell, but it was filthy! Dealership sits just off a major highway outside of DC The after shots...

Nickfire20 Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 While I have everyone’s attention, I need your alls opinion.... I found this large scratch(and a smaller, shorter one under it) on the front bumper, the dealership says they will fix it. Should I push for a new bumper, or will a repaint be enough?

That looks removable to me - some Correcting Polish and orange pads should make that look fine. ObsessedDetailer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_rhoden Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 If it won’t come out with correction I think painting it would suffice. It’s brand new paint so there would not be a problem matching it. I would make sure they paint the whole bumper if you decide to go that route and make sure they don’t try to blend it in. tlbullet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfire20 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Edit- this was a couple small rub marks, and my nail must have got caught between them, luckily I found it myself, and didn’t have to be showed up at the dealership. I actually got them out with Revive and a Blue Hex. So it was a rookie mistake and not looking at it throughly and correctly. Thanks to everyone for your input Edited October 3, 2018 by Nickfire20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlbullet Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I dont know much about body work but can thye remove the bumper to spray it? The last thing u want is overspray on the whole car. For resale reasons and well as ur own well being! Ive had local car dealers use horrible shops to fix 2 of my cars they damaged over the years(similar damage) . One the overspray was so bad i had them buy the car back from me. I think as long as thye remove if i would re paint. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
