Guess I`m not sure what the point of this thread is, especially given that the wording indicates a CLEAR intent to attack/belittle members of this forum.

Bud you are clear and present danger to this forum ..me thinks it is time for you to "Exit stage left" Dave/Barry I know you are cool with this guy but come on......................( although it IS entertainment I suppose).

I don`t understand? Is this a joke?

Oh that poor car...I kinda like those too :(



I can`t see that as an attack on anybody here since I can`t imagine anybody at Autopia washing a vehicle that way.



Oh sheesh, I lose huh? Just wasted a few minutes of my life on this one :o

I think the attack would be the quotes around the word pros.



I guess I`m not a pro since I use ONR. I guess I should close my shop and hang my head in shame.

Agreed. I don`t see the point of the thread though???



I`ve seen worse advice on other non-detailing related sites....but I can`t recall ever seeing that kind of advice on this forum...





I have seen similar advice to this quote though, more in line with the use of pressure washers....






Hose off the car to loosen the dirt. Don`t use a strong jet, as this can rub grit over the paint and scratch it.



...can`t recall seeing that ever happen in my 20+ year career using a pressure washer.









I would probably take that guys advice over running my car through a high volume tunnel wash though! :D

Well, I am a "scare-quotes Pro" as I`m not a professional detailer but David Fermani has declared me an "honorary Professional" :chuckle:
