Default My tC has been violated... BADLY! Pics added!

Ah so, I'll never get lazy and not hand wash my car again. I went to this local detail spot, and got my car touched up... Well, i go in to pay for my s**t and ... i look, Hmmm... Why is the car stopped in the middle of the wash? Why is everone looking at my car, why cant i see what is going on? Well so the car keeps going and i get outside to look at it... Looks good, although, i didn't get into the passengers side... my buddy says, "Hey Stu, get the f**k out and look at this s**t..." Me... "WTF" you gotta be kiddin me... dent, dent, dent, oh... there's a scratch, oops a dent here... O... Look! Yeah, so until i get some pics on here, just know, that this s**t sucks ___!

Stu


Here ya go, look at this s**t... Life is great!

Car washes suck the big one

My other car got scratched twice in two months before I switched car washes. I try to do it myself, but it's hard to find time to do it myself-

My condolences

Won't the place have to pay for the damage? That is not normal and I believe they should fix it. I know a scratch or two can be called normal or even expected, sadly enough. But dents? I would be raising some big time Heck.

I found one by my house that is "touchless", and sure enough the carwash never touches your car- Too bad when they take it around the corner they attack your car with this

Ouch... yah I own an Indgo Ink one, and after the first hand wash I could even tell a bit. Next I waxed the $hit out of it. Hope it stays in good condition.

I'd imagine a box wouldn't have a whole lot of spots where water can get stuck on the car

Everyone except for me says it is great

I'm not sure if my filter just sucked, but I had spots all over-


Hey Stu- Can you re-size them pictures?

All of them are two small, except for the 4th one, which is too large-

Damn, I sound like goldilocks
