Taking Delivery of my G63 next week
My truck arrived last week and should be at the dealership this week or next.
I'm thinking about asking the dealership not to wash/"detail" the truck before handing it over to me to avoid paint damage. My truck is matte black. Has anyone done this before?
They told me they dont use high octane gasoline. Surprising considering they sell a lot of high end AMGs.

Told mine to do as minimal as possible. The dealer didn't mind I'm sure they get the request a lot.
There were still swirls in the paint (metallic) which are inevitable but my detailers took care of it.

Mine didn’t have any swirls in the paint, it’s silver metallic. The windows were covered with acid rain from sitting at the port in Baltimore for 5 weeks waiting on EPA certification.

Ask them to call you the minute it arrives and head over yourself before they touch anything. They can take all the coverings off the interior while you are there but the exterior needs to remain untouched (especially with matte paint). Trust me.

Congrats on your G! My current G63 is Magno Night black and I love it! The dealership did detail mine upon pickup and did a good job. Then it went to the shop for Xpel Stealth PPF + Ceramic coating. I have a 21' G63 on order in Arabian Grey (Non-Metallic). Should I be worried about swirl marks and a non-metallic paint etc? I've had a non-metallic black BMW and I absolutely hated it. One thing I LOVE about Magno, no swirl marks.
