    Have you ever messed up a customers car?

    I was just curious, has anyone made a really bad mistake (like say burning thru the paint) on a clients car before? I'm about to get a rotary but I am very nervous about making a bad mistake...ill do my homework and practice at home first of course...but I'm just curious about the biggest mistake anyone has made on a customers car and how you handled it?

    I didn't really "mess up" a car, but I did plant a big ol' nasty muddy shoe print right in the middle of a floor I was cleaning.

    Rasky manned up last year and posted on here and MOL about paint wrinkle on plastic bumpers. Most people wouldn't want to show their mistake to the world, but Rasky decided to use his mistake as a learning experience for everyone else.

    I have crazy respect for Rasky and anyone else who mans up and says they messed up, even if they are one of the best.

    Re: Have you ever messed up a customers car?

    Over the course of my detailing career i have messed up 4 vehicles in the past decade. 3 minor issues and a major one on a Mustang. there is a good reason to have insurance. The Mustang was repainted and the clear coat did not properly adhere to the base and proceeded to peel off when i used my rotory on it
