How not to detail a car...

I'm a bit of a car detailing nut as some of you know, but someone at work just sent me this...and all I could do was Cringe.

 


I honestly thought it was a joke at first when they used soap all over the dash and stuff. And power washing the door sills where all the water gets in the car? How stupid... I don't know who's stupid enough to take their car there.
 


that place needs to be closed. I bet they never wondered why car kept coming back with huge electrical problems. radios not working car acting all crazy the ecm freaking the balls out wtf is a huge understatment
 
Power washing door jambs is not uncommon, I don't do it, but it can be done. Wouldn't trust them to do it though.

This..

Just use common sense.. Depending on the nozzle it's rather easy to control where your spraying. I pressure wash mine every once in awhile when they get bad and a rag isn't going to cut it. Never had a issue with water getting all over the interior or door panel

Major cringe. But, only for them that buy from dealers! Bet they get foggy windshields on the lot. I wring the mitt and do jambs about every other wash. Never understood most peoples' view on pressure washing, I avoid it like the plague.
 
95% of the time my car is washed at the pay and spray with the pressure washer and the death brush.

i wash and wax is at home maybe once or twice a year.
 
touch-less is a scam, they come out dirty still.

is not much better then hosing your car off. and we all know how well that works. the paint neds to be touched, or the dirt is still there.


back to the vid, that interior has got to smell like crap, why soak the seats that much, wtf? the dash too, im sure electrical stuff breaks all the time, but its a used car dealer, so f it right?
 


your car doesn't get clean.

More importantly it doesn't get scratched. And I went to touch car wash with the big brush that goes over the top of car and it would slam down on the trunk. It senses where your car is after it smahed into it, literally.
 
find a better car wash. i got a place here, for 5 bucks it comes out shining like new. if you see any thing dirty, they rewash and dry it.

thats just a plain wash, they go up to 35 bucks or so with interior cleaning wax under car cleaning and so on.

swirl marks come from drying the paint too. old crappy towels hurt it the most. why we own buffers. :th_mischievious:
