I give you...pure stupidity in the form of washing

I feel myself getting more stupid....... by the second........ watching this crap.

A Dumbass trying to save the Earth is worse than a Liberal.

Oh and did you notice he had what... about ½ a gallon of old dirty water in the bottom of his CLEAN bucket? :rolleyes:

I was talking about the link that was posted showing Mike Philipps cleaning a car with a push brush.

Can't agree with you on this one. Polution is bad. Many of the products we use may be very effective but I really hate to see level 3 (or more) health hazard listed at the back of the containers. So if something is environmentally friendly, I am all for it.

Probably not. Remember, the person that he is marketing to has NO FREAKING IDEA what a swirl is, much less do they care. :eek: My podiatrist has a 2005 black Lexus 470 that we cleaned up back in May or so, the wife and I spend SEVEN HOURS inside the freaking thing, everything from Folex, to APC+, to vacs, steam cleaning, you name it. That's 14 man hours just on the interior. Even had to hit the headliner (and you KNOW how bad it is to mess with a headliner) because it literally looked like they'd open sodas that had been shaken up and let them fizz all over the headliner, and once that was done they'd pour it on the carpets. (Oh, and it's the light tan interior, not the black.) :eek:

And of course he didn't care at all about the exterior, but I did a quick Megs 151 on it just for the heck of it. :_

Then when taking it back I tried, (yet again) to let me at least put some sealant on his new 5 Series. His reply? "I don't worry about that one, it is a brand new lease." Come to find out, the ONLY reason he did it at all, was BECAUSE he got a new 5 Series for himself and was placating his wife!!!!!!!! :laughing:


Bottom line, is most people are never going to be willing to spend $500 doing a paint correction much less fifteen hundred. :dunno:

I hear you, and that's the very reason why I don't do detailing anymore....

I enjoy doing paint correction..... BUT I hate cleaning up other people's messes on the inside...... So if it was more than a quick wipe down and vacuum I wouldn't touch it unless they were willing to PAY.... A LOT... Most of what I saw back then I would rather pour gasoline on and light a match to them.

But you are correct, most people really aren't willing to spend the money to make it worth the time and effort involved.

So if I do happen to ever do it again I will target the higher mid range to high end customer types.
