Well...I was supposed to detail my first customers car today. The plan was for her to drop the car off last night, since she lives about 30 minutes away, and for me to get a head start and I was to finish today. Well...we had a bad storm come through Friday night and a branch came down on her car. Three big huge creases, roof, rear pillar, and rear quarter panel. I told her to get the car fixed first and then I'll detail it. *Sigh*

At the least I washed my car last night and finally got a chance to use my new blower. It works GREAT!!! Thanks BobbyG for the recommendation!!!Im the MAN

oooooohhhhh man!!!! Did they total the car out?! It pains me to see this. I advised the girl to go to a paintless dent remover like Dent Masters and get it fixed. It wasn't bad at all. Nothing like what happened to you...sheesh!!!!!

That happened to my car when I was in college. Unfortunately it was totaled because the tree was so heavy the tires splayed out and the engine was sitting on the ground. Hopefully they can fix it for her.

I'm so paranoid about hail damage when the storms get bad out here. Lately they've been nothing like I've ever seen...really violent. The thing that sucks about ole girl is that her car still has temp tags on them....I would have cried....literally. She's the reason I hurried up and purchased a bunch of stuff for the side business. I wanted to get it done before she went a month with the new car.

That's sad. I didn't realize it was brand new. The one I lost was a piece of crap 1987 tempo my parents brought new and had to have the computer replaced 4 times before it got totaled. Otherwise it would rev up on it's on and if I didn't slam the clutch in would run over everyone in front of me.
