Don’t try this at home!
My next door neighbor who is a very disgruntled man, decided to ask our other neighbor, a very nice woman with a garage queen red Cadillac if he could help her by detailing the car.
Anyways, disgruntled neighbor thinks that by doing favors for people that it makes up for him being a miserable person. I was once fooled by him as well.
I was able to catch what he’s doing a few times today while I was doing my own yard work. He’s using Mothers Cleaner Wax for the LSP. He’s also wiping it off with the same towel he’s wiped off everything (He’s got this same ugly terry cloth towel he uses on his own cars for everything).
The worst part, however, is that he was using a kitchen sponge (think Soft Scrub) sprayed with some foaming cleaner from a metal aerosol can to clean the bottom panels. He lightly went around the car wiping away with the green, abrasive part of the sponge. Oh my! With the spray and sponge he looked like a guy cleaning a bathroom.
I feel so bad for the woman. I’ve told her passively I would do her car for her (she sees me doing my thing all the time), but I think she’s too nice to ask. So this big lump instead initiates it and is swirling (and probably worse on lower panels) her prized Cadillac up.
By the way, he also knows this is my obsession and I’ve caught him looking at me throughout the day when I’m outside, almost like “ha, I stole your dream job”. Well... if she’s smart enough, maybe this will be my dream job soon: fixing his neighbor-installed-swirls. I feel bad either way. Here he with his one towel dragging against the wheel while he buffs.

Re: Don’t try this at home!
Please save that Cadillac! This reminds me of the time I ran over to a former across-the-street neighbor and helped her dry her car with my “good towels” instead of the old rags she was using.
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

Re: Don’t try this at home!
What an idiot.
This is just me, but I would walk up and explain just how bad he is damaging the paint.
He's already disgruntled. Lol
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Wow, Bob. I wish you could have warned him of this quote. This is the singe to himself after what he’s done to my family. You’re 6 months too late from me warning him.

I would LOVE to explain, trust me... but we’re not on speaking terms since last year.

Re: Don’t try this at home!
Even with his good deeds, it doesn't sound like he is going to be re-gruntled anytime soon.
