Redvenm Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Well some of you guys may remember this I got a call from the shop just now and they said it should be complete this afternoon. All they had to do wash wash it!!!! When asked how they wash it, I was told by hand and then they will also hand dry it!!!:help: OMG About now I am getting worried!!! I then cringed and asked what do they use to wash and dry with??? SHOP RAGS, I MEAN SHOP TOWELS!!! :help::help::help::help: Oh ok, sure, as long as they are shop towels and not shop rags!!!! Yeah right!!! I said please do not wash my truck at all. Although it got dirty in their shop part of their service is a nice hand wash and dry. I am thinking sure buddy, more like a hand swirls and scratch!!! So again he thinks I am nuts, It started when I detailed it over several nights after work prior to putting it in for repair. When I told him this, he thought I was nuts for doing that and then I took pictures of the interior and exterior in front of him. I pointed out the one ding, from a shopping center parked all the way in the back but still got hit, and showed him one paint chip. He thinks I am wacked for sure. I simply asked to please return it to me in the same condition as I brought it in. So I figured I would put this lil story out there to my fellow shine freaks cuz nobody else would get it...NOT AT ALL!!! HERE IS TO HOPING FOR THE BEST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redvenm Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Where did you take it man? LOL I am crossing my fingers for ya! Took it to Abra off Kipling and I-70. Actually the 5th time there in as many years. Each time there was the result of me being at the wrong place at the wrong time? None were my fault, I must add.

02Xtreme07ss Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I have laminated signs that say 'DO NOT WASH' in every one of my vehicles. It gets hung from the rear-view every time they go in for service or anything that I'm not around. On the last 3 vehicles I purchases I told the salesman that if it was washed as part of the PID, I wouldn't take delivery of the vehicle. Each time I was looked at like I was nuts, but I have no dealer installed swirls as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z71_Denali Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 i was the exact same way when i bought all of my cars. when the sales guy told me all they had to do was prep them, i made him put a big giant note in the window "PLEASE DO NOT WASH, ONLY VACUUM" the sales guy asked me several times, "are you sure you don't want them to wash it?" and i repeated several times, "NO! i picked out the one with the least amount of swirls already, i don't want anymore on it!" P.S. Be prepared for Hologram's City on that side of the truck!!! you know they used a steel wool pad on a rotary after paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be willing to bet it doesn't look as bad as Kyle's new vette did, before he gave it the Adam's treatment :help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redvenm Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Laminated Do Not Wash signs, great idea. Kyle's vette was fried, I sure hope that isn't the case. Sent from the Dark Side using G2/Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
