    hehe

    Just spoke to the dealer this morning and they've emailed me an updated contract stating that they will not do any prep on the vehicle prior to collection. I've allowed them to remove the plastic film but agreed no prep/valet in the contract.

    Off to look for transport wax remover . . .

    Cheers,
    D

    I would just buy yourself some G101. Mix it up right strong (as per the directions on the front of the 5ltr bottle) into a sprayer or your foam gun if you have one and use it to de-wax. Then the rest of it is a great product for general cleaning when diluted correctly.

    I use it for cleaning under bonnets, in door shuts, under wheel arches, light wheel cleaning, cleaning interiors, bug removal. I would be lost without it.

    I wouldn't bother getting them to remove the plastic film to have those valeters all over your car with their rings, watches and zips etc etc scoring the car just imagine midnight black no way it would be awful.

    All my Minis get nothing done to them by the dealers and it's great removing all the stuff inside and out yourself.

    Every salesman thinks it weird letting a car go out in that state better that state than what your guys would do it I always say.
