    So, I was at this local car get together/car show, and....

    Just as I was packing the car back up, this guy walks up to me and tells me he is a detailer......

    He offers to detail my car, since it looks brand new and I should protect it properly. He tells me how he will hand polish it to shine and put a "coating" on it that lasts a year. He says I can go to the shows with pride that my car is "perfect". He said he would do it cheaper than the dealer.

    I asked him what products he uses and he comes up with some name I never heard of, but it contains "poly charger" and it`s used on planes. He also says that he never uses a buffer because they kill the paint. Then I ask if he has references and pictures.

    He showed me a pictures of MY OWN CAR......... (the black one) The pics were taken at a past show. Proceeds to tell me that this car is perfect and he takes care of "all this guys cars".. And this guys is soooo particular. Then a pic of Lambo and a Porsche. But he is most proud of the black one since he took care of it from the start. I asked him if he could show me the car at the show. he said he was supposed to meet the guy at the show to do a "Show prep wipe down" but the guy had a family emergency.

    I usually deal with people like this by having a coughing fit and saying I have Ebola.

    I was gonna go off, but then thinking this guy is around shows in the future as well as I was going 2 blocks up the road for dinner I started worrying about what kind of damage he could do to car.

    Tell him you want the phone number of the owner of the black vette! I would have so much fun messing with this guy.

    Don`t blame you for not going off though, especially if he`s going to be around in the future. Some people are bonkers.

    You should have said "Oh yeah, I know him. I took some photos of the Vette too."

    Then show him pictures of it with you and a trophy with it.

    How dense can you be to show pictures of a car that frequents that car scene? What a jackleg!

    This show is normally large. 200+ cars 400+ during season

    This was a month ago and only about 50% of the show
