Anybody watch "Modern Marvels" last night on the History Channel?

**Junebug** · 12-09-2008, 06:29 AM

It was all about car washing.

**blkacgsr** · 12-09-2008, 06:46 AM

Yeah, I caught that. Did you see the crap they put on that Porche?!

**EBPcivicsi** · 12-09-2008, 07:37 AM

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

**Junebug** · 12-09-2008, 07:46 AM

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!

Damn I missed it, ****ing studying for exams.

Anyone got a link to the bootleg episode?

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

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!

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.

**imported_smprince1** · 12-09-2008, 03:29 PM

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 ...
