After detailing 2 cars on Saturday I was shot and it was cold on Sunday , plus I felt like I was coming down with something, but I wanted to wash my Durango. So I go to a decent hand car wash and as I am waiting and watching the car in front of me be washed I started to cringe and almost left due to the brushes on the wheels, same mitts and crappy towels. I still had some detailing stuff in the back of the Durango, so I popped open the hatch and handed them 3 clean MF mitts, 1 for upper, 1 for lower and 1 for wheels, then they dried with a leaf blower and I handed them 4 MF drying towels to use on the paint and wheels, making sure they didn't use the wheel towels on the paint. I told them skip the tire dressing too.
They must have thought I was crazy and so did the customer behind me. So he asked why I did that and I explained how improper washing and drying scratches the car...........etc. So he asked me how much for a full detail on his Fiat 500, 75-90 bucks?.............I chuckled and said it would be more than that even though its a small car. Out of respect, I did not hand him a card in front of the owner of the hand wash. I gave them a nice tip and the owner said I could bring my own supplies anytime I want. I guess this will be my routine for the winter..........lol
