You're gonna buff the paint off your car (after my neighbors came back from spending a whole day at the beach and noticed that I was still detailing my car since they left earlier that morning).

I first started washing cars when I was around 12 years old. Our neighbors would always say "you're going to strip off the paint washing your car too much!" A couple years ago, an elderly man drove by and stopped in front of our driveway to say "so is my car next?" LOL!

My neighbors enjoy coming over and asking me questions about what i'm doing to my or a client's car. Most of them that stop by end up being clients, can't complain about that

HAHAHA! Nice!

My neighbours say the same thing, "you're gonna wash the paint off your car". But, they also say "looking good Matt!" which is always nice.

I've gained a lot of new clients by this exact exchange of words.

My neighbor gets the benefit of trying out my favorite products on his truck. He might just wax his truck more than I wax my car. Then again I am usually busy working one a client's car.

My favorite is, "I wish I had the time to keep my car that nice" as they go inside to put their feet up and watch TV all afternoon.

And NEVER a cutesy comment from my wife who really enjoys strangers telling her how gorgeous her car is. I wonder why they notice her black Lexus when there are so many others out there? Hmmmm....

When I was 11 or 12, my neighbor said; "you going to take the finish off that car" (he then chuckled). I was washing my uncles car for 50 cents and I wanted to do a real good job. I used SOS pads
