How's this?

They could be factory seconds.

I wouldn't worry too much. The guy can't even spell San Diego correctly. Any customer that goes to him is probably not worth the trouble. Last thing I would want is a detailer who makes mistakes on the details. I would think the city your business is in would be low hanging fruit, too bad he...

Went into Advance Auto to pick up some Griots car wash. Told the guy at the counter this stuff was pretty good. He said he refuses to use that stuff because it is worthless. Said he had a special soap that was made by some guy who used to work for Blue Coral. He proceeded to extoll the...
