Why don't you use turtle wax and armor all
I could go on for days
That reminds me lol
I did a groupon a wile back and in the groupon it states surcharge for trucks vans and suv's. I normally dont like charging surcharges but with groupon I need to get my moneys worth. Anyways, a customer with a hummer asked me if there was a surcharge for his hummer. I said yes, it's an SUV. He said quote "well it's an H3, so it's not really an suv".......

Re: Stupid things your customers have asked
Had one person, a friend of my son and they are both auto techs, ask me to buff out the roof of his truck. Only catch the clearcoat had completely failed and was peeling off in pieces. Now I feel he should have known better and really did not like it when I started laughing at him.

I did some work for a dealer. An old red bmw. For the most part the clear was in ok shape except for the passenger side door and front grill. He wanted it polished up and I told him it wont last long. He didn't care, he just wanted it to look ok till he sold it. I hit it with my DA, slapped some wax on it, 2 coats of sealant and he was pleased lol I had to wash the heck out of my pad tho lol It turned my yellow LC pad red!

Re: Stupid things your customers have asked
Had someone ask me to buff out a scratch on their Honda. I knew it was through the clear and I told her that. So she understood everything I said, and the next time I saw the car it was "touched up" horribly. I asked what type of touch up paint she used, she said she used nail polish. The whole car was red except for this one sparkly purple part that was nail polish. lol.

Re: Stupid things your customers have asked
After I polished a friend's neglected car, I told him the metallic flake was now visible. He asked me how I put it in there.

Re: Stupid things your customers have asked
Well this was not a question a customer asked but told me..LOL.. I was doing a regular clean up on her car(wash and vac) and had to drive it to a spot to clean it and drive it back when I was done.. Well when I got home she had already called my wife to complain about me leaving pebbles in her tires...LOL..I just laughed at my wife.. Do you all pick pebbles out of your tires?
