I once bought a tracked dozer and specified that I wanted it steam cleaned B4 delivery.
(they also had to do some repairs)
1st thing I did when it arrived was to brush paint the whole thing to make it presentable.
Well I worked it for 3 years and earned 3X my purchase price.
I then sold it and recuperated my original cost (plus a bit) since it still looked good.
Naturally that bit of dirt/dust hid any paint flaws.
I also had matched the color so that any chips, scratches etc did not stand out.
