It was all about car washing.

Caught the end of it--LOL at the Porsche "detail." In HD you could see holograms all over the front hood...

Yeah, that poor Porsche! I noticed the camera didn`t really show that egg spot either. But, what can you expect - they should have found a real detailer instead of a company rep. I laughed at the reference to Paul Dalton as "one detailer in the UK charges $9000.00 per car and doesn`t do interiors". But the best was the "16% of all car owners never wash their car" I believe that one, I`ve done some of their cars!

I only watched the end of it with the preparation for cars to go through a car wash. I missed a good chuckle, i wonder if it will be on again.

Yeah I watched it! I logged on today to post about it but you beat me by 5 hours hahaha :D
I almost cried when he was doing all those thing to the Porsche, especially the eggs:bawling: Just goes to show you what good protection can do!!:cooleek:
I stopped going to car washes about 4 years ago but that gigantic car wash in the beginning of the piece was something else!:cool: If there was one by me I might be tempted (to take a friends car ;)), I know my kids would love it :)
How about that guy with the brillo wash pad? Talk about cringing.
What kind of old car was the rep standing next to? the paint was incredible.

LOL
I saw part of it, and this statistic was a bit discouraging. I guess it just shows why it is so hard to find good customers who will pay for quality detailing services.

I agree it was discouraging to see that statistic that so few people wash/care for their vehicles.
The was one bright spot I remember...where they said if you want your car just clean go to a car wash but if you want it to keep looking like you just bought it bring it to a detailer. Was at least encouraging to see somebody differentiate between car washing and detailing ...

I saw it. I cringed when he was beaming the paintballs on the porsche...I won`t be suprised if he put a small dent in it.

It was definitely after Heroes (which was probably the best Heroes episode this season) :)
