Taking new delivery question ----
Is it customary for the dealer to wax/polish the car while taking delivery.
We picked up a carbon black X5 and the paint definitely has dealer/regular washing marks on it.. I asked the sales guy the following day if they could wax/polish it and he said they dont do that.... whats your experience?

I asked the dealer to not run it through their auto washer once they took delivery , only hand wash it ( who knows if they did) but they definitely detailed it and wax/polished. He said they do that to every new delivery.
I didn’t see swirl marks outside in the sun - best I could do , I figured. |

Update, dealer is going to fix it.. gave me a loaner and will be delivering my car back to me *i live 1.5hrs away*
Excellent service albeit with a little of bitching but glad they did the right thing after all.. we shall see tomorrow when they deliver it ultimately.. So for anyone having a similar experience, do not hesitate to ask the dealer to go over the paint and wax/remove swirls/marring from a lazy pre-delivery cleaning..
