Returning the loaner car to the dealer in better condition than you received it.

Seriously. I need to put down the microfiber and take two steps back.
 
Hey, sometimes you just want to see what you can do on a car that you don't normally work on.
 
Rental cars = good rotary practice. Just don't use the rental vans I take care of. ;-)
 
Too funny. I did a rinseless wash (onrww) on parts of this loaner ram 1500 the other night to practice a little. I only did half the hood to see how it'd bead (was thundering, so I figured it may rain) - anyway, as I was doing it I wondered how many other ago forum members use rentals/loaners as practice.

Funny how the perspective here is different than previous "detailing" forums i have visited in the past. I had my old BMW in for a multi day service a few years ago and had a loaner BMW. I used the opportunity to try some things out and caught holy living h*** from some on that forum. Comments like "how could you jeopardize someone else's property" and "did you have permission from the dealer to do something like that?". I made that loaner, like you, better than when they released it to me and returned it in much better condition.

I still am shocked at the response i received from other detailing enthusiasts and didn't "jeopardize" anything. It's refreshing to hear a similar persepctive to mine here.

When you rent a car from Enterprise, they tell you what they're looking for damage-wise. Dents bigger than a golf ball and scratches 5" or longer. Sooooo I doubt my ONRWW+ is gonna qualify - even if my microfiber cloth came from Costco Im the MAN:laughing:
 
When my q5 was in for a respray after a Nissan micra tried to do a 3 point turn in a car park space we got a vw tigan in a navy metalic colour.

This had scratches on every panel so as I got a parcel through for autogeek I experimented on it and handed it back spotless. My wife and neighbours thought I was mad but the garage gave me a Porsche panamara to detail and paid me £600 for 2 days enjoyment.

Its a great road car but I can't afford one but I sure enjoyed driving it chime and back to them!

Thank you Meghan, nick and mike for all the great stuff I bought from autogeek so I can detail awesome cars
 
Lol, My car was in a bad accident a while back, We got a loaner and I went all out washing it,cleaning wheels and shining up the tires, etc. Came out good, just goes to show you how dedicated people are...
 
Got this little charmer last summer when I had my Model S serviced. Of course I washed it and took some swirls out with SF4000.
