US Deliveries
So has anyone on here picked up an AMV8 in the states yet? I know they are here because I went to the am dealership last week to speak with them about prepping my Dad's. Unfortunately he still has yet to pick his up because he's busy at work

So my dad finally picked the car today and it is amazing. It has 50 miles on it so it still needs to be broken in, but you can already tell it is just an awesome car. I drove it for a short while and everything about the car was great. Awesome handling, power, brakes, etc. and I got plenty of looks driving it 
The only problem so far is the $&%#*& DEALER PREP!!! I specifically told the gm and the "aston martin detailer" to NOT even touch the paint with a rotary and sure enough they did. It looks fine in dim light, but the first thing I saw when my dad pulled up in the sun were holograms all along the side of the car. My dad will be requesting they pay for a detail and I will get my hands on the car for the first time, which I should have just done in the first place! Sorry for the rant, but detailing is what I do and after being lied to by several employees I am pretty ticked off. For those of you picking up a new car anytime soon, do NOT let the dealer touch it. I thought an am dealership could be trusted but apparently not.

I still need to buff out the holograms, but I have just been booked solid lately. I was able to put a coat of wax on the car yesterday and it is looking pretty good.

Good work Eric...and he's right guys. Most "detailers" from the dealer really have no clue what they're doing. We just got a client with a DB9 and it's taken almost 20 hours to fix the swirls and holograming.
