Let us know if you try a towel, I use MF pads and it stained mine horribly, I'd say worse than the old ONR (I only say that because I still have V.3 ONR so I don't know if the newer versions stain less). I haven't washed that pad, so I don't know if the staining comes out easier than the ONR staining (which doesn't come out easily).

I didn't notice my sponge stained, I mean the stuff is a light orange, not sure where this staining is coming from

No, the dirt from the car stains the media. This has been going on since the QEW days, followed by ONR, but I didn't think any of the later products do that, so I was kind of shocked at how bad the Idrosave was. DG or Uber never stained for me, I don't think EcH20 does either.

Five trips, wow, do you think they'll take this as a learning opportunity, maybe improve their processes, do some more training. Or will they just be glad to see the back of you, maybe bring in a rule about working on crazy detailers cars.

This was pure negligence and not me being anal since the vehicle is meticulously maintained. After the first visit, they fixed the damaged panels and in the process left three dents in the driver’s door, overspray on it, polished the panel above the front wheel well and removed the coating (this panel was not damaged in the least from the accident). When we took it back to have those issues addressed, they messed up the hood and the front passenger door and had to do some repainting and completely mismatched the color. I didn’t take it back to that location and took the issue up with my insurance since they have a satisfaction guarantee. They escalated the case and got me in touch with the district manager and he immediately booked a car rental and within two days of us communicating he had an appointment to fix the issues. He wanted me to come by so that he could see the vehicle in person but he called me after getting a hold of the pictures from previous location and could see that it was a botched paint job. He took care of everything and reimbursed me for the cost to recoat. The district manager had excellent customer service but he needs to clean house at the original shop.

So it seems like the district manager might take option 1, this gives them the opportunity to correct some issues. Fingers crossed.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
As soon as I got home from work today I did a DIY Detail RW on the EN, I finished up the bottle infact
I used the GD method and I've gotta admit...it was VERY hard to not reach for the Labocosmetica Idrosave but like I said, I finished up a bottle and in a weird way, I like doing that
