In the Garage today, we have a new Mercedes Benz A45 AMG. Sadly, it’s going to need a lot more than a “new car” treatment.

Pre-delivery service complete with swirls, rubs & holograms. We did expect a bit better by MB, but why is it that this doesn’t come as such a surprise…?

All of the blacks are in desperate need of polishing – again – as the pre-delivery work has left a LOT to be desired (and even introduced faults as a value add!). Every white panel on this one also needs work, but it’s much harder to show it in the photos.

We do like to deliver a “better than new” finish. Though the bar hasn’t been set very high on this one… Stay tuned for the finished results.
