Don't go back! Unbelievable how they could call themselves pros.

This is the equivalent of a mechanic telling you that your flux capacitor is broken.

Just read through this, these guys should spend more time detailing and less time decorating their lounge.

Sorry this happened, good luck!

UPDATE....

I decided to take my car to Ivan over at LUSTR Detail.
He went over my car and gave me an awesome 2 Step polishing and when I picked up the car it was better than new. I appreciate all the positive input that everyone posted for me on this site. Now I am onto getting my money back from Simon's.

Great Deal!!! I'm glad that you got a great finish to this problem with your ride. I know from talking to you on the phone that you were really frustrated with all of this, and rightly so... Good luck trying to get your money back from Simon's. From reading the reviews of that place I'd suggest going in with "thick skin" and be prepared to get Screamed at.

Thanks for the update David!! A photo or 2 of the finished job would be nice too.

Wow. i only charge 175 for a full detail and my work comes out to perfection. no swirls, buff marks, ANYTHING

David, thanks for the opportunity to fix the problem and hope you enjoy the finish now. Best of luck with Simon's and as I told you I'll be emailing you all the relevant photos once I get through them today or tomorrow.

Fort those interested, the paint went from what you'll see below in the before photos to nearly perfect, aside from some really deep RIDS that were mostly on the lower panels. I opted to do only 2 polishing steps (some places got 3) due to the paint readings being fairly low, but fortunately even with just one cutting step I was able to correct all the damage from before and the finish turned out amazing.

Here are a few photos of the job... (Full set here...LUSTR Auto Detail - David E500 Correction - a set on Flickr)

I wouldn't put much stock in that review. It sounds made up, plus what do you expect out of a $20 car wash?

Someone needs to tell that reviewer to get to the point

When you picked up the car Sunday you should have came on in and met the guys.

Agreed, He's complaining b/c there was a little water in the door jambs.

From Yelp, it looks like more of a high volume hand car wash shop than a detail shop.
