what's the worst injury you've had while detailing?

[Strs90]

I ripped a good piece of my pinky apart with 3000 psi. Thata and a bad back are my injuries

I held a pressure washing too close to the tip of the nozzle and it slipped.. while tried to regain my grip I managed to take off more skin on my fingers then i knew i had.



Not physically painful but... I was kneeling on the back of the roof of my truck washing the top and i slipped and fell backwards into the bed.. but only one foot made it into the bed... I could not regain my balance and then slipped again.. this time out of the bed and onto the driveway where my neighbors where watching. My neighbor just laughed and said that I was gonna wash the paint off my truck.

detailing, the worst i get is just real sore from bending and stooping all day. I'm out of shape right now though.





when i was an installer, i was carpeting a speaker box and had the razor blade the wrong way. i had to take it out of my finger with neddle-nose pliers. umm, I've stabbed myself many times with pick tools trying to get panels off. but the razor blade was the worst.

My worst would probably be ripping off my thumb nail completely while claying under the drivers side mirror.

I know I hurt it, but didn't realize it was gone until I saw blood in my wash bucket! :soscared:

I've taken a lot of skin off my palm before with a pressure washer. It was the first time I used it and I wanted to spray my hand off.:2thumbs:

Worst mistake:

Once plugged in a buffer that was already on. It went skating across the shop and tagged a car.



Worst injury:

Undiluted degreaser in the eye. After about 10 minutes of flushing I went back to work.
