Default simonizing 2011 street glide 103

So I buy my bike and herd something about this simonizing, thought nothing of it and found out it cost me 668.00 when I went to pick my bike up after getting some extras like seat 4 point dock I asked if they did the simonize... he said the tech wasn't there and they would do it again in case he hadn't. The guy walks in the back and gets a little bottle about 3 inches tall about as thick as a fingernail polish bottle.
Takes 5 minutes tops and wipes my bike down with it and says ok sir its done????????????? I got hosed on that. I expected them to disassemble it and go through the whole bike with the stuff. I don't get it I'm flipping out on this. I love my bike but not getting hosed after spending 25000 on this thing.

Used to Simonize paste wax on tiled floors in the barracks. Made them floors shine! Great for weekly room inspections. The days before contractors cleaned barracks. You got your azz waxed on that one.

No thanks can be powerful words at a dealer. Yes can get expensive.

For that kind of money it should come with a warranty.

I guess you were not suppose to see what they did to "simonize" your bike. That would **** me off and I would get that $ back,no BS about that, or they would keep the bike. Now I expect the dealer to make money but they flat out ripped you off.
