Baby steps, can't expect him to accept change too quickly.
Do you have doubts the Collinite will 'wash off'?

Nope, not at all! Lol
I'm just not gonna let him wash it with a dirty wash mitt then say "see, look at all those swirls.. They came right back!"
:doh:

mark up another user with a few roots in the area.
ahhh... memories of going around the hard right hand 90 deg turn at the stop light before the sweeper left next to the cemetery.
would like to be near rolla next weekend for the 100 acre rally, but things didnt go as planned.
was through there last summer to visit a few friends around the capital before heading south through houston on the way to arkansas.
i wish the roads and trees were in oklahoma!
good looking work on the solstice!

Update:
Since I polished the Solstice, it has sat in one spot through three storms, hasnt been driven or touched... here it is today when I arrived at the shop:
rinse
foam gun
quick scrub with two buckets and grit guards
pool rinse
dab dry with one microfiber towel
total process time 15 minutes
Results:
Still waiting for that polish to "rinse off"
Took me another hour do the same thing to the Yukon, but its been the buggy all week in an ice storm...

Just walked past the detail bay and what do I see being scrubbed down? Yup, my lil Solstice that I've been secretly washing for the last few weeks!
Sure enough, the detailer pulls it out and parks it back on the lot and now there's minor swirls and scratches all over it. :face_palm: I betcha if I went back there and confronted him about this he'd simply say "Toldja it'd wash off..."
I give up on these guys, I'll just change gears and start selling my more discerning customers on paying me to fix these DISOs when they do comment on them.
Meanwhile you'd think the manager (who just received the bulk of my ire regarding this occurrence) would see the evidence and simply replace the current method (one bucket, one old mitt) with a new method (two buckets, grit guards and microfiber wash mitts), for no more than it costs.
I'm sure you all saw this coming. I suppose I should have too.

That's too bad. Corporate culture can be really hard to change. Did you actually tell the manager that you had been secretly washing the car?

That's a damn shame....... I must admit I didn't see that coming.
