Funniest things you hear people say about Auto Detailing!

lol... ive heard that. especially from my girlfriedns stepdad. he said that i cant use my pc on his car because it has a clearcoat. but claims that my car doesnt have one even tho is a 04' mini cooper.. go figure.

the best is when uve been working on it for an hour and they come out surprised at the fact that u're still doing it...

people just dont understand...
 
I just brush aside the "you sicko" comments. I let the shiny,prestine car doing all the talking for me :bigups
 
"You're gonna polish the paint off that car!" Haha.....funny......

What I usually try to do is inform the poeple who say that about what it is I am actually doing. I do have a couple of friends who are offering to pay me for my services now though....friends who use to say stuff about how I was wasting my time. Go figure.
 
The one I hear most is I'm going to take the paint off the car.
Another one is "are you still working on that thing?It looked good two hours ago!"

JaredPointer took the words right out of my minds eye as i was reading the previous posts to this tread.

although i never hear what they are saying... i have neighbors that go by everyday when i am working on my pickup. as they are passing they wave but they are shaking there head, also. having not been into detailing very long, i know what i was saying when i went by someone that was detailing an already nice and shiny car. of course i cannot say it on this thread.

The guy across the street from me is always saying "You'll wash the paint right off your truck!"

This made me wonder, was there ever a time in automotive paint history that washing and polishing and waxing was just not good for the paint?
 
Well

- I dont have any scratches or spider webing on my car.

- (about a detailed car) you must wax that everynight.

- It looked clean when u started.

- I can get my car looking that good at the car wash for 5 bucks.

There are to many to list!!

"Dang, didnt you just washed you car last weekend?"
"You waxed soo much. You going take out some paint"
 
Sometimes it's just the looks, of utter astonishment, maybe even uneasiness :naughty people may give. Take the phone book delivery man who stumbled across me polishing my mufflers: all he saw was a pair of legs sticking out from under the car :D I can't quite describe the look he gave but I'm sure he'll remember me for a long time :bigups
 
"May I recommend you go talk to a very nice lady I know about your problem?" when I was spotted applying wax for the nth time in a month.
 
I thought of another one. From the Ford Dealership owner.

tells me that waxing over a dirt and dust covered car adds grit to the wax and that looks better

EEEK

Funniest one I ever heard is do you buff? Thats right next to Can you get rid of that LOL
 
On a bit of a side note!

One of the people I work with just bought a new BMW (330xi or something like that I don't know .. not a big BMW fan) She was talking to someone else in the office about the car and how they offered one of those Paint protection plans ...(I Just chuckled softly) sometimes its not worth getting involved. Then this person said.... "Oh ill probably just take it to the car wash once a month and let the rain do the rest...It has clear coat it will be fine" As I heard that I Shreeked I couldn't take it anymore .. it was like someone was dragging their finger nails acrross a chalk board... So with that said I printed out Detailing according to Jngrbrdman 8 pages on how to detail your car... I can't wait to see the reaction! Maybe I should take a picture or 2!
