No sorry didn't take any pics.

Bought the car from south hereford VW but live in the north east(about 9hr round trip), did complain to the dealer but got fobbed off with not washing it properly and not noticing it when it was delivered.

Got fed up in the end and thats when i had the correction done (not very well)

Should a correction be done 100% or am i being too fussy!

100%
Did you look at detailing world and some of the states those cars are in? Virtually anything can be repaired to a mirror like surface.
All the best for getting it sorted. Nothing worse when your not happy with your car.

All cars get swirls, dark colours just show it more. I've no idea who you used but there are loads of valetters around these days and half of them are no better than the sponge monkies at the dealers. It it swirls you have or is the hologramming and buffer trails too?

See what the guy comes back with but I'd be seeking a second opinion from someone local to you on DW. To be honest £200 seemed a bit cheap to me, I was quoted £900 to correct a brand new car that ultimately I rejected and took my business elsewhere.

Wow £900..... £300 from a well respected detailer here. Most I've checked out have been from that price.

If you spoke to Roger Williams you will get fobbed off. He's made a career out of fobbing people off.  :angry:

my quote was from Paul dalton who these days can charge double the rate and still have no problem keeping busy!

These days I'd only trust a few guys on detailing world with Clark being my preference. Hesnotexactly local tho!!

Have you thought about buying a DA machine and doing it yourself? You never know, you might get into it.
