    More picture stealing....

    So a guy local to me emailed me asking about my Opti-Coat Pro pricing. Normally I don't mind talking with and helping other local detailers to me but I like to check them out first. Within seconds of looking at his page I knew he was shady...

    Most of the pictures are taken for this very forum as well as the AG store. The 50/50 images and word for word text are from Ivan Rajic's web page. What first set me off is that he lists CQuartz Finest as a service and apparently he doesn't know that CarPro does not allow their to be more than one installer in a certain area. Why can't people just do things the right way???

    Re: More picture stealing....

    Just left him a nice comment on his chat feature on his site. Its things like this that just make my stomach cringe, i mean is it really so hard to do a 50/50 on a car? That and his pricing is reallllyyyyy up there, considering he cant even bother to post his own work.

    I'm going to email him and ask if I can use "his" 50/50 shots to post on my website because they look so good!

    Hehehe wonder what that answer will be!

    On a serious note sorry to see your work has been stolen Ivan. I hope it gets resolved for you. It's a shame people do this to those that put out great work and have worked hard.

    Well, he is dishonest towards his fellow detailers (stealing their intelectual work) and towards his own clients (if he sells CQuartz Finest and doesn't even have access to it, what is he putting on the customers' paint? - Chad, I am sure you have done it already, but Corey should hear about this).
