PDI (pre delivery inspection) is a service offered to prepare your new or nearly new vehicle on the day of delivery or at the dealers prior to your receival.

Unfortunately many new cars have paint defects caused either by contamination in storage, transportation or due to main dealer pre-delivery cleaning.

Often after receiving your new vehicle, you notice that there may be defects or something that you are not happy within the appearance of your paintwork, and then have to spend time taking it back to the dealership to have it corrected.

More often than not car dealerships will try to sell you their own protection package, they will bring in franchised or on site valeters who are usually inexperienced in the art of preparing your vehicle prior to you receiving it.
The de-contamination and preparation of the paintwork, alloys and trim is paramount, if not completed thoroughly and correctly the protection is rendered worthless and will deteriorate prematurely.

At Gleammachine we act as a third party with our main priority being you the customer and not the dealership, we will liase with you the customer as to what is required to Detail, Protect and Prepare your vehicle to a faultless standard, with no compromise, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind throughout the length of your ownership.
