    Has anyone picked up their M3 and found it riddled with paint defects? Detailing/PPF?

    So I went to GVE in London. They have some seriously nice cars in stock! I had a look at a few of their customer cars that had ceramic coatings applied. They use Gtechniq. As you commented Durzel, simply put it makes the surfaces super slippery so that dirt and contamination have a harder time...

    This is brilliant. The driver has a totally bewildered look on his face! I bet that Tesla will get tidied up and handed over to the customer none the wiser! I'm forever the optimist : ) McLaren did something similar. They could not source carbon monocells for the production of a highly sought...

    What ceramic coating did you get and how are you getting on with it? We have been getting crap weather and roads are covered in crap so it's the perfect time to put the product to the test I suppose. : )

    I've contacted these guys having seen this video online. I'm just waiting on a quote so if it's competitive i'll send it there.

    As mentioned it was superficial. Having sold my previous car needed wheels asap. It's not like the car had bodywork damage, or mechanical issues. Just poor finishing from factory. Happens with all manufacturers to a more or lesser extent.

    Spoke to Tesla Chiswick who I ordered the car from and they have said that they would contribute £500 or send it to a 3rd party bodyshop to take care of the sanding marks and etching but there is a 1 month wait for a booking with the one they suggested. Found out that if someone were to damage...

    Has anyone picked up their M3 and found it riddled with paint defects? Detailing/PPF?

    Hi Jason, great point, so just did that. I insure with admiral and they said that they have no problem with it. Seems that PPF is something they have dealt with on other customers cars. Some positive feedback from them, all they require is an invoice from the supplying company confirming the...

    Has anyone picked up their M3 and found it riddled with paint defects? Detailing/PPF?

    Thanks Adopado. I thought it was just my bad luck getting a "Friday afternoon" car. That said the issues are only aesthetic the car drives and handles superbly so am super happy with my choice and with a little bit of tinkering the DBM paint will look awesome so am happy with my choice on the...

    Hey, So I collected my Blue M3 from Stockley Park a couple weeks back and it was riddled with paint defects. There was sanding marks all over the car and the lacquer had etching on the bonnet i'm guessing where a bird had crapped on it whilst being sat outside. Whilst it's not the end of the...

    My ongoing Model 3 troubles since day one!

    CertLive sorry to hear that you have had a horrendous experience. I can certainly relate to the paint defects. Mine is blue and absolutely riddled. The paint is terribly thin in places and i'm dreading stone impacts and how it will fair after me doing my weekly wash months or years down the...
