I like how he couldn't even get the phone number decals on straight. Reminds me of a Cavalier I saw with "Proudly assembled by Union ##" bumper sticker. The sticker was on pretty crooked and had bubbles/wrinkles in it.

Hmm, think about it this way. They are probably creating business for you.


Seriously though, we shouldn't hang around in gangs laughing and pointing at lesser educated detailers. Live and let live, people. Lets be nice.

Better yet - When I get customers that don't want to spend $$, I refer them to him.

Yeah! Lets do an intervention. Then we can all hold hands and sing before we have a Coke. I'm sick of these guys and seem to see more of them popping up every day. No knowledge base, little experience, sub-par/minimal supplies and usually a great line of $hit. I've repaired their work many times for a premium above my regular charges which includes my 20 minute dissertation to the customer on what it takes for a proper detail. I love cars and just hate to see a hack job done by these knuckle draggers.

You know that would be a hilarious way to market a business though. Should have a "BEFORE" decal on the bad side, and an "AFTER" decal on the shiny side. lol
