That's hilarious!

Re: What not to do when detailing a car!
Great thread, funny and entertaining (Yes I'm guilty of #1 & #3 as well)....Still make the #1 mistake every now and then....BUT!

Feel free to post your pearls of wisdom here. As you will see, our detailing pearls involve humor and not real advice!
#1 Do not detail in the nice, clean, hot garage at night when a fridge full of cold beer is next to the car. Remove the beer and replace it with bottled water!!! I feel sick this morning! Nuff said!!
#2 Re-read the Mike Phillips articles with your detailing partner before starting so you don't argue the whole time about who is right about the proper technique! Oh, and by the way, I was right! But then again, I am always right! Isn't that true gentlemen?
#3 When detailing with your partner, don't be the person who lifts the polisher off the car before turning it off!!!! Luckily, it wasn't me! I used to wonder why Mike repeats himself ad nauseum about turning the DA off before lifting it from the car! I only need to hear that advice once or twice. But, the hubby made that fatal mistake early on and we are still cleaning up the mess!
Great and funny post.. made my Friday haha I have my beer after my detail job.
But I have sometimes during lol.....

Re: What not to do when detailing a car!
Great Thread with good humor!
I was doing a little of #1 in the garage last night along with my roommate, thought I did add in a little water between beers.
We also had the door open as well but instead of moths flying in we had blood sucking mosquito's! Nothing worse than being in mid polish on a panel only to have several vampires sucking the blood from your back!

Re: What not to do when detailing a car!
Ha ha, I really enjoyed reading your post. I too have been guilty of committing mistake #1. I like to make a drink called, "Michelada" every now and then when I work on my car. Alcohol and power tools never mix , ask me and my finger how I know.

Re: What not to do when detailing a car!
Very funny, thanks for sharing. Sounds like you and the hubby had some quality bonding time! Nice thing is we all make mistakes, great thing is those mistakes help us to really remember what not to do next time. Bonus is you tried out the new stuff and you and your car survived! So there you can see this isn't that hard after all!
