When the car comes off the truck, its covered in dirt and RAIL dust, from transportation. i can almost guarantee that the dealer will not clar bar your car before installing the clear bra, which is an absolute must. A full detail must be done to remove contaminants, especially rail dust. You are, rather, more likely to wind up with a swirled up paint job under your clear bra, along with a swirled up paint job all around your car. they'll 'detail' your car and grind everything into the paint.

1000 dollars for the work you are having done is actually pretty good, and that good price, is probably a by product of the fact they are going to cut corners in the prep work, which is the most important part.

If you are a member of this forum, you're car will never be "done"
