Odds and Ends Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) My current "fix it" project. My customer purchased this 2013 A5 Cabriolet from a local Audi dealership. Hmmmmmm.....those are some good buffer trails! I'm not sure I could do this if I tried. Maybe I could get this guy to do some "hologram art" for me.

marquez93 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I manage a dealership detail department, and even I think that is especially bad. I don't know why anyone would go back and forth so much instead of longways across the panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why anyone would go back and forth so much instead of longways across the panel. Exactly.....poor technique, poor training, poor QC, but I'm sure they delivered the car on time! My guess is that they were told to "fix the scratches" on that section and didn't want to take the time to do the whole rear of the car. The trunk is pretty jacked up too and as far as fixing the scratches......they're still there but now they're masked by the buffer trails! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marquez93 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 My detailers have a pretty good amount of experience, but they can still easily leave a bunch of holograms. Now that I've learned about the Rupes and the Flex, I'm trying to get them to use those instead of the rotaries, but some detailers can be very set in their ways. I'm trying to at least get them to finish up with the orbitals even if they still like the quick cutting that they get with the rotaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I never let any of those kids at a dealership touch my cars. Bad thing is, there are more and more of them working on ENGINES now which drives me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
