In used cars, waxing and vacuuming is about all the preparation
needed. In new cars, however, there are things like license plate
brackets to mount, wheel trim rings or hubcaps to mount, protective
plastic to remove, headlights to aim, and other minor things that
the factory doesn't do.
And the most important thing, making sure the car has just enough
gas to get it home! :-)

Another bit of dealer prep which applies at least to Volvo is the removal of a thick coating of a kind of grease which covers at least all of the unupholstered metal in the interior, and might also be on the exterior. I presume this is to prevent rust during shipping. I found out about it because the dealer had forgotten to finish it and left some of this junk in the "hidden" compartment in the back deck area (I have an 83 wagon). - Greg Paley
