Worst washing examples you've seen.

Post up videos or pictures of car washes gone terribly bad.

This one hurts to watch. If he is the highest paid...then damn


BTW: look at me, thinking I'm a pro detailer.

I was actually witness to the worse example of washing a Camaro over the weekend...I attended a fairly large car show and someone pulled in with a IOM 5th gen Camaro, parked the car, and proceeded to take a jug of water out of his trunk, dampen a rag\chamois and proceeded to wipe down the back of the Camaro to remove all the dust that accumulated from his 2 hour road trip. HE continued to "wash" the complete car this way.

I couldnt believe what I was watching and my friend, who is a detailer, had to walk away before saying something to the guy.

I went by the car afterwards and you should have seem the swirl marks in the paint...some people just dont care I guess!

If I were him, he would have gotten "clock cleanded" the minute he picked up that long handled brush off the ground!!

Here, you gotta' mean my mother-in-law. That filthy old bitch NEVER washes, If I didn't know she was an unsanctified pagan as well, I'd say that the last time water touched her body was at her baptism.

Worst wash ever was the one my dealer let some zitface do after my first oil change. Never again. They offer their courtesy wash and I just say NO.
