I doubt they’ll think you’re a dick for asking them to do less on the car. I already told my sales guy to do their PDI but not to touch the interior or exterior because I’m driving the car straight to my ceramic coat guy … he said yes sir. I’ve watched a few of those “detail” guys clean a car up and let’s just say that I’ll never allow it again.

I most always ask for limited PDI no wash, rinse, wipe down, just inspect it for being driveable in that way but otherwise leave it alone.

I wonder, how much paint correction is required on a new car? When I bought my new truck, I took it home 2 miles, then parked it until my PPF appointment a few miles down the road. I do prefer the local install of PPF as well in case there are issues. I believe the big guys like 3M and Xpel etc. should be covered nation-wide, but local would still be better. I really like the idea of just having it delivered straight to the detailer/PPF. |

Once it gets back to me, that's when I'll actually clay the rest of my car, double check with iron remover again to make sure everything is 100% clean before the polish and graphene coat everything include the newly installed PPF. |

I talked to him today. He said he has a good guy in the detail bay, I just told him I'm sure he's good but I'm just traumatized by past experiences and nothing personal. So he said they won't do anything to it.
HOWEVER, what was supposed to be an 8/25 arrival date 700 miles away just magically showed up today. I need to decide now on shipping it or picking it up. |

Ship it if you can. If you plan on driving, at the very least I'd painters tape the entire front end. If you don't want to do that, plan to drive very slowly and stay behind at least 4-5 seconds from the car ahead of you, and avoid staying side by side with other cars, especially semi's and work trucks. They do have temporary clear bras from $50-100 a roll. But it's kind of recommended to give it a coat of spray wax before it's put on to help prevent residue left on after removal. But that also entails washing the car before hand.... |

Yeah I'm going to sleep on it tonight on what my options are. I have a few shipping quotes in the $600-800 range. Not sure who is good or not. I could also fly out for $200 and have it this weekend... And yeah going with the blue tape on it LOL. Very undecided at this point.
