    Stupid things your "Detailer" has said (that made you get into detailing your own car)

    Come on it's only fair...

    Re: Stupid things your "Detailer" has said (that made you get into detailing your own car)

    when I was starting to detail for money I was going around to different shops checking out their setup. 3 kids were working on this white camry with dirty rags. It looked like crap...i mean NO shine.

    I asked them what they were going to do to it and they said "we're done with it! we just put this wax on it" and pointed to these no name brand bottles.

    So I showed them my audi and they said "it's clean but not as clean as we can get it" lol, no thanks!

    reminds me of yesterday @ lunch - i head out for some Subway, and in the parking lot there's a setup with "$35 wash, wax, interior". Ok, give them the benefit of the doubt I pull closer..

    They were using a modified 2BM method.... one on each side of car. 3 guys, 2 buckets, 2 yellow sponges, bathtowels

    i politely declined.
