So I`m sitting at work eating my lunch and I`m watching the parking attendant "wash" one of the owner`s car.
I say wash, but I`m not certain you could call it that.
Basically... he was using the dish soap from our kitchen in a small bucket and I believe it was also a dish rag (although hard to tell as there wasn`t much rag there) which used to be red but obviously has seen better days and is now not only spotted with black dirt but frayed and ripped.
Well I watched in horror as he rubbed and I mean RUBBED the paint with this dirty dirty rag and with pretty much no suds in the bucket he was using... just a bit of water with a few bubbles here and there.
Needless to say he also used the same dirty dirty rag on the wheels AND tires as the rest of the car.
He was not using a hose either... so how did he remove the "soapy" water?
Well I was interested in this too. And then he did it... he pulled out a roll of paper towels.
Now imagine this... it`s a new BLACK Q45... it`s already starting to spot because he`s doing this in the parking lot in full sun with dish soap... and NOW he`s RUBBING (and I mean RUBBING!) the rest of the car with paper towels.
I couldn`t watch any longer. I got up with my lunch and had to eat elsewhere. It phsyically pained me to watch this take place.
But hey... the owner probably only had to pay him 50 bucks or so... I have no idea.
Just wanted to share... so sad :(
