I can't believe parents get their kids cars detailed

But I sure am glad they do. I thought I was going to have a light day-cloudy with rain in the forecast. My regular afternoon customer had me come out in the morning and wash and wax his CL500 and then told me his partner wanted me to head over to his house when I was done. No problemo, I didn't have anything scheduled after that.



I got over there, expecting to detail his Diablo, Bentley, S600, Escalade EXT or Lincoln Navigator, but instead, he had me detail his son's pigsty of a Suburban. Scratches all over it and while the interior wasn't too stained, he had all his crap in it and had been out off-roading, so there was dust everywhere.



Oh well, with the ugly forecast and rain for the next day, I cetainly wasn't going to complain. It ended up looking pretty damn good, too. Some of the scratches were too deep to do much (into the primer), but the rest of it cleaned up real nicely.



I still don't get it, though. My Dad would never have paid someone else to clean my own car-besides, at that age, your car is one of your obsessions and you tend to keep it real clean all by yourself. Oh well, I guess when Daddy is a multi-millionaire, things are different. :nixweiss

Yep, that's the one! Rough life, eh?
 
I used to clean a very successful chiropractors cars, his son had a convertible 325, always nasty, and always full of roaches.... not the creepy crawly kind either. He always had it in the shop for things he kept hitting.

How do you get roaches in your car?

Gee.... I wonder why he kept hitting stuff? :rolleyes:

ohhh... I just stopped at roaches and didn't read the "...and not the creepy crawly kind" until now. Damn, made myself look like an idiot.
 
I clean cars for a group of yuppies (all around 23-30 in age), and I often find roaches and other such evidence of drug use. One of them regularly gets speeding tickets, too. One of these days when the cops stop him for doing 90+, they are going to search his car and he will be SOL.
