Dealership attacks a brand new 2014 Audi S4!

Dealership attacks a brand new 2014 Audi S4!
Got your attention ; ).  Here we have a brand new 2014 Audi S4 that came to us for new car prep which turned into a full paint correction, Opti Coat, and Xpel Ultimate Installation.
What we thought would be an easy routine job turned into much more.  The dealer induced a lot of linear scratches from doing the customer a favor and removing snow off the car at deliver, unfortunately (I see this a lot) the dealer delivered the car at night.......  Please join us for another dealer fix write up.
I'll let the photos do the talking now.
