    IMO he should've replied:

    Hey Flash, that's a good point. Definitely a good idea to get yourself insured. I still believe that a inspection from would be beneficial to others.

    Thank you for your input.

    Instead he dismisses and deletes. Do you really want a teacher like that?
    He’s not who I would go to for teachings. I posted somewhere our interaction. It wasn’t a positive one for me but he has helped a lot on AG. He gets props for that from me but he doesn’t really matter to me in a positive or negative.

    If he wronged you I get it but again to the many here he did help them. With him not here no one is going to change their opinion of him. And will come to his defense. Won’t change minds.

    With him gone this forum needs all people with knowledge to fill the void. You won’t win by bashing him so win but you might win by being better than the way you see him.

    Again, it's about protecting both parties and being detail-oriented. It starts with the paperwork and processes. If they just want a car wash, then go to a car wash. There's a reason why people pay more elsewhere.

    Example(s)? Irrelevant, but I'll play your game and give numerous from personal experience:
    Not a game, just trying to meet expectations with clarity and have details.

    Leaving a car in neutral to clean gear shifter. Car rolls backwards ripping the door off (twice)
    Ripping doors off the hinges whilst moving (twice)
    Burnt paint (twice)
    Ruining a computer under a seat by getting it wet (once)
    Driving into a parked car (w/ less then 100 miles) going 60mph (once)

    Probably more but I have a headache from being Hangry. If I think of more I will report back SIR!!

    P.S. You should really consider getting yourself some business insurance. It's available for under 1k per year and is tax deductible. Accidents happen to the best of us...
    I've been in detailing for going on 38 years. I grew up in a family that owned three dealerships and a used car lot; worked in a body shop and nearly every aspect, from sales to finance. The only thing I've not done is engine work. I've never had an accident with a vehicle, such as ripping doors off or wrecking one. I attribute that to solid standard operating procedures. (SOPs)

    I've never ruined or damaged any electronics and paint burn, one time, many many years ago, and i was a re-painted panel and my TC's outline I'm not responsible. Customers sign off on it, and just like with the purchase of a used vehicle as-is or the installation of any mods, they enter that at their own risk. That's not to say one can excuse any and all damages, but there is a legality that's at play when it comes to negligence.

    Accidents are defined as unfortunate happenings with unintentionally caused circumstances. Negligence is the lack of ordinary care, skill, or management of a process or property. That's why your very first point about people just wanting their cars "cleaned up" is irrelevant. The detailing process is about ensuring that we manage and exhibit responsibility around reasonable and professional care and adhere to strict and measured processes. When those professional documented processes are ignored or skipped is when the liability window opens up wide.

    There's no "win" here man, just paying forward knowledge and help like everyone else. Take it or leave it. There's no one way or best way either, only our own way. Hard to tell on forums how anyone takes the replies but no offense is ever intended. Thanks for the conversation.

    It's all good friend.

    Have always enjoyed viewing the jobs that you post and your other contributions to the forum. If someone doesn't disagree with me occasionally I get suspicious
