    Nightmare on Detail Street

    Ugh, I just found out some guy at my work is "detailing" one of our vehicles we own that we use for product photography.

    He is using a Dewalt Rotary with a 7" wool pad and what looks like 3M Marine Compound.
    He also claims he's been detailing cars for 20 years. He's 25 years old at best.

    I'm terrified how this is gonna end. Apparently he was given permission......

    Stay tuned.

    Sadly I feel like at that point there will be no paint left to fix.

    Wait--is this an employee of your company, or someone they hired?

    How are you not the in-house person for detail advice? That they wouldn't ask you what this guy should be using and how he should be using it? Oh...I forgot, he's been detailing since he was 5...

    This is interesting! By any chance do you know what he drives? If so take a glance, anyone detailing for 20 years probably keeps a sharp ride. Second, you probably have the finest looking car in the lot, and they have someone else do it? This is crazy.
