I'm still convinced they owe you something! I say that you detail the thing, then make up and invoice and send it to the dealership.

It's worth trying!

I am very seriously thinking of this....but i need to cool down a bit before I call them ..I may stop there after work tomorrow since it is close to my work..and also the owner will be there as I was told...cause I wanted to speak to him today....

Sorry to hear you a bad day AL..The right thing to do is have the dealer pay you to detail your truck but it may not be worth the hassle. i'm glad to hear the polish buffed right off..

well there goes not having a drink today lol..

AL, I'll write you up an invoice! LOL Go ahead and detail it, then tell them I drove all the way from Texas to detail it, so that is an extra charge. Tell them I specialize in rear end oil removal........wait, that sounds a bit weird..... just oil removal! LOL
Maybe somewhere around $1500? LOL
I'll take 500, you can keep the 1K....haha

Easy Money man! C'mon!!!!!

Man, sorry to hear that, that really sucks. I know how you feel, I did mine about 1.5 months ago had it in the garage for 4 days working on it, the day after I took it out I went to Home Depot and come out to a dent in the side of my door. Had the paintless dent repair done one week later, came out perfect, then my washer broke. Got in the truck and went to Sears, come out and my wife says what is that white stuff all over your bumper, I walk around the truck and sure enough someone had swiped the bumper. I went home and buffed it out right away, but ofcourse all of the paint came off but now I have some scratches about 4-5" long on the bumper cap. It never fails, seems like the better care you try to take care of your things, the less courtesy others have for them. Oh and just to let you know I am the idiot that parts out in the middle of the lot away from everyone and this stuff still happened. It drive me nuts that it was things that I had no control over.

Has everyone ever noticed that the less you care about your car, the better they look? I Have a buddy that could give a crap about his car, but he has no dents or scratches or anything! Parks wherever he pleases, no problem!

Al,
I am sorry to hear what happened. And all the hard work you did. Take pictures of it, to show how bad it looks to the owner of the dealership. And tell them you will have it detailed, and they will have to pay for it. Since the dealers wash monkeys suck. Charge yourself $60 an hour to do it, should take you about 4-5 hours

I'm very sorry to hear about this AL. I suggest the same as Ed, detail it again and send them a bill. Tell them why would I let your guys detail it after they already f'd it up once. Look on the bright side, at least you can use some of your new CG Mirror gloss. I used it today on half a hood on a silver PT crusier, and man is it slick and shiny. I curious to know how long it last.
