I thought I would post this picture KDS sent me today showing the detailing improvements on my new car.

 

 

Picture and more details are available on Facebook

 

KDS Said:

Here we see a before/after showing the poor factory finish on a brand new VAG product. The 'sinkage' in the lacquer (which looks a bit like skin pores) has the effect of robbing the surface of reflection crispness when viewed normally. What this means is that even a brand new NON-SWIRLY paint finish can often be greatly improved upon by KDS detailing techniques, and this particular Skoda owner is going to be a happy customer at the weekend!

 

Would love to know what others think of this. I am shocked new car paint is so bad, but I am glad I am getting it fixed.

Good stuff!

 

To those of us with OCD/keen eye/paint knowledge this is far from uncommon.

 

Of course 99% of the population would never see their cars paint in this light so to speak.

 

Enjoy the car & the experience of picking up a Detailed car.

 

cheers

I feel this is where new cars let themselves down. The lack of swirls are replaced by a poor finish to the clear coat. KDS have an amazing reputation and it just shows how a new car can be improved. It will look amazing for sure. Enjoy buddy!

Unfortunately this is very common, saw a feature on the web about a Porsche that was painted in a special one off finish that had a whole host of issues that weren't supposed to be there as part of the special paint (the cost of which was £k's and not hundreds).

 

The car was corrected by professionals and if I remember correctly Porsche picked up the bill which was a considerable cost.

 

Mind you as Porsche are part of VAG there maybe a link there?!

 

As already said, fortunately yours will be corrected although I would challenge Skoda to see if there is some goodwill available especially as you paid extra for that colour over and above what a normal metallic finish would have been.
