    Re: Let’s take a black truck to the car wash!!! Sounds fun!!

    Amazing turn around! I have some friends that "invest" in the unlimited monthly swirlorama washes. They sometimes will wash the car 4 times a week! I dont detail for money, but have refused to "buff thier car quickly" knowing they will just go back to the brush wash the next day.

    Its interesting how most black cars will start to dull and look grey, because of all the scratches and swirls.

    Great work and write up and pictures Prin!

    This situation is like double edge knife. Are you going to educate and let the customer know how to properly take care of the truck. And that is also how the customer reacts on this and is ready to put in the work or $ to get it done. Or is he going to still be useing the swirlomatic car wash after the hunting trip and for maintance. How are you going to forward with this. Just accept the situation and get the most $ out of it. Or minimize the correction and just do an AIO and spruce up the gloss and save him the life of the clearcoat. You know what is right. But then you have the business aspects of it. If the customer wants the full correction and you don't do it. He will proberly go to another detailer that does it. It's not an easy choice to be doing which way to go. Your way where you think is acceptable or the customers way of doing it as you would not do.

    Either way it's a nice truck and looks awesome when you have saved it.

    How anybody could let a nearly $70,000 vehicle get trashed like that, and not care is beyond me. Nice save. Hope he keeps it looking that good.

    Out of curiosity, what tires are those?

    Looks great. Job security is correct. McKee's is my go-to sealant.

    My local Scratch City car wash advertises $19.99 a month for unlimited washes. That will definitely keep the local detailers in business. That was a lot of work put into that F150 with great results.
