So, I took my car in for its first detail job this weekend. Everything went well, until I noticed that all of my rims had some sort of scratches behind the spokes - apparently from brush use. I was livid and went back to the detail shop - he of course denied everything, told me that mine was not the first GT-R he detailed (which I do believe, as he has bunch of GT-R before/after pics on his website) - and it does seem like the guy gets a fair share of exotics to detail. However, this is the first time someone outside of the dealership has touched the car and I bought the car with only 20 miles on the clock. If the rims DID have scratches before he started working on it, I wouldn't have seen them, as rims were quite dirty before the detail.
So, I don't really have a leg to stand on... but I highly doubt that dealer would f*ck the rims up while prepping the car. Either way, fact is that now all 4 of my rims have scratches on them. Not glaring but there, bothering the sh*t out of me... He also pointed out various blemishes from the shop tools (scuffs where lug nut wells are), along with other stuff.
I can't really go after the shop, as I don't have any evidence that they weren't that way before I took it in... I'm just shocked at how unbelievably touchy GT-R paint is ANYWHERE you look - be it on the body or the rims. Looks like it can get messed up by simply looking at it.
bastards... whoever it is...
