    New car prep usually involves sealing the paint on the body and wheels and sealing the glass also. I made sure the dealer didn't detail it because I've heard that they leave faint swirls compared to professional detailers. When I brought it to the detailer he was impressed and he commented that is was one the best looking brand new paint he's gotten in because most new cars already had the dealer prep, where as mine didn't. Even then there was still a very small amount of paint correction that needed to done, probably from the cloth wrap lightly rubbing on the paint during transport or in the wind.
    sounds about right, guess when it comes from factory the paint is nice and rawr. I'm trying to figure out what to do when my RS5 comes in, So far its hands off dealer, xpel ultimate goes on, but haven't found anyone I trust to do any of the other work :(

    do it yourself! @Mops can assist you in anyway you need. he is the bomb. The master of paint. the master of car care.

    IDK about you, but as much work as it is, it feels so good.

    Mops is the man, Adams makes the products. Simply the best, you don't have to worry using any of Adams products, their all good. Mops will answer or find the answer to any questions you may have. Speaking of which I probably need to start stocking up also....

    Runge, I see you're from Ottawa. I just spent a night there when I had to fly out through there, definitely surprising. A very urban and hip town, I plan to stay longer next time if I get a chance to go back.
