Camaro's getting detailed, starting to freak out! - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Mr CLuTcH · 02-09-2010, 01:27 AM

You left your car with someone else?! HAHA! Your honestly asking them to go and drive the thing, I mean, come on, your not around. Just around a block or two won't hurt right? A few unnoticeable rock-chips here and there, no harm done right?

Do yourself a favor, LEARN to detail your own car. If you have as much love for this car as I do, I'd never leave it in the hands of another man, including the dealer, without supervision, YOUR SUPERVISION. Once I learned to detail my car, I couldn't think of bringing it to another man. I can be proud of my work, it's free, and if any damage is incured to the car, I know it's because of my own doing. When I detail my car, it takes me 12+ hours to give it the high class works; washing, drying, claying, washing again, drying, polishing, applying wax, then interior cleaning, engine bay cleaning, exhaust. I clean the entire car. If you don't want to get these panic attacks, learn to do it yourself, it can actually be fun, and if your good enough even make YOU some money.

I bet when you get the car back, it's going to look great though, .....until you see the swirl marks they've added, which only can be seen when you cock your head to the side when your cars exposed to light.

Just kidding, hehe, if you left it with them, I hope they know what they're doing.

dont get it detailed?

Seriously, why would it need to be cleaned that good, just spray it down or run it through the auto wash.

Banshee · 02-09-2010, 01:32 AM

Solution? Detail your own car.

Steve Dallas · 02-09-2010, 02:03 AM

Got it back. As far as why get it detailed? It wasn't fully clean when I got it from the dealer, and just wanted to give it the full-meal deal, far better than I could have done. From this point on, I'll be doing my own work on it. And, milage was same, so I feel much better now

Good to see that the detail went well!

AaronE · 02-09-2010, 11:06 AM

Its not the detailers that you have to worry about, its valet parking services that are bad. I had a few friends who valeted in high school and college, after hearing some of their stories about the things they did in cars, I will NEVER valet EVER lol!

washed it as soon as i got home otherwise it leaves marks...I wonder how many birds it took to do that...also makes wonder what the hell do they eat? And y my car? all the others around me didnt have any poop on them...

Someone once told me that blue cars or really shiny black ones look like water to birds so they are more inclined to poop on them.

I didnt think birds preferred to poop in water but it made sense at the time?

It was dark when I got home, so no. And, I've driven it a bit since then so it isn't pristine anymore.

How do you know they didn't put it up on jack stands and run it in reverse to bring the mileage back to where it was when they got it?

This post cracks me up cause this was the first thing I did when I dropped mine off at the body shop last week.

Detail your own car. __________________ It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks.
