Car Washing Horror Stories

[ConglomrationAL]

Wow. that's all I have to say.

[DirtySouth]

Good grief! If that wasn't the biggest overreaction I've ever seen! Sounds like somebody is desperate to prove themselves. Why are you surprised that people didn't take you seriously when you're telling us about using tire dressing on your paint in a "Car Washing Horror Story" thread?!

Very nice story. Definitely worthy for addition to this thread.

I was not that skeptical about your tire shine on paint story, because I know of the WD-40 on paint one. It spruces up even faded dull paint to look like new for a short while. It's one of the favorite tricks of dodgy used car salesmen.

They just dripped wheel acid or something all over my friends hood, on his Syclone...low production/rare truck...it ate the paint a little and stained it like greyish. Went back to the lady and she said she didn't do it, now they're offering to buff the car for free but we won't let them touch it...she says its an old truck and needs a decent paint job anyway..

That says enough.. well, kinda. Someone is hiding some tic-tacs.

Oh man, that is one CLASSIC pic with the red corvette. Kitchen rag in hand, dirty wal-mart sponge, towels laid out on the ground.

men who can afford corvettes falling victim to bad washes at the expense of oogling highschool gals.

Haha that picture is hilarious! Most of the time at those high school car washes you see crappy cars, but with a Corvette and Lexus there, egad!

Wow...I guess I really took my dad for granted! Growing up, I always saw him wash/wax his cars the RIGHT way. None of these things would ever even have OCCURRED to me! I always thought the soap brush at the carwash was for tires only...but apparently everyone else knows better than me ;P I would NEVER have put that on my car! I always thought these things were common sense...but maybe I was just lucky enough to have grown up with a dad who set a good example of how to take care of expensive things.

while detailing a car today with a friend, the neighbor decides to wash their car (we must of rubbed off on them ) with dishwashing soap, a broom (yes, the kind you use to sweep dirt), and to top it off... drying with a bath towel!
