    Frankly I'm starting to think its willful ignorance. The guy isn't stupid, he's just trying to justify his 40 a week!?!? :face_palm:


    The good news is there are two (soon to be three) shining examples in my driveway, evidence that the methods and tools I have garnered here ARE effective, are NOT a "glaze over" and really DO work as advertised.

    I've been working here 10 years, I can hold out six more months to further prove my point before I start insisting that we invest in some of this "new tech", like grit guards, microfibers and the like..

    The boss still has that Firehawk, it'll be a good example too. But I ain't doin it for nuttin.
    I see swirls everywhere!!!

    Yeah, my heart sank for several reasons.... The foremost being my distinct dislike for confrontation...

    Congratulations to you for your paint-correcting the Solstice
    to AutoGeekian (which is now your) standards...

    Congratulations to the new owner(s) for the purchasing of a fine
    example of a vehicle all polished-up and ready to: Slip, slip away!

    Congratulations on the sale! Hopefully she is with a family that have better car washing techniques than your dealership detailed.

    Re: Swirled out Solstice

    No, I wasn't the salesman on that one.... But the new owners did seem particularly picky and did comment that "we've looked at several, but none were this clean."

    It was a proud moment for me, even listening from the sidelines... Wonder how long the Collinite will last em?

    Re: Swirled out Solstice

    So, kind of an update:

    I bagged so much on our dealerships resident detail guy, but I want to take a moment to point out what he IS good at:
    Before-


    After-


    I'd be even more proud if there wasn't a certain 3M Imperial glaze involved....
