getting a microfiber wet is my biggest pet peeve.

or when people have really gross stuff in their car.

Cleaning cars where the women who wear too much makeup, that then transfers to the gearshift & sterring wheel. Nasty. Bozo the clown`s car doesn`t even look that bad.

I have two pet peeves:

1. Dropping stuff on the ground, because then it has to be thrown out or cleaned before I can use it any further.

2. My dad coming out of the house (I use his driveway to detail) while I`m working and giving me "tips" on how to detail. Especially since he hasn`t washed his own car in at least 30 years and didn`t know what he was doing then.

People who intentionally park their beater very close to my car, when I`m parked half a mile away.

1) I hate it when clients ask me if they can help me detail their car to help reduce the cost, YEAH RIGHT!

2) Dropping stuff on the ground, I`ve been lucky this far with not dropping the clay bar. Yikes, just jinxed myself.

3) Clients that expect the shine to last over 6 months no matter how they take care of the car after the detail.

For right now that`s it. I`m sure I have more. Happy Holidays everyone!!

I forgot about that one.

- When people ask if they help woudl it be cheaper, i always say it will be more. haha.

- When people say, If I bring it to the car wash before I drop it off It will be less right? .... Again my answer is it will be more. haha

People asking me "while I`m at I can do there`s next", then the look I get after I tell them what they would have to pay me.
