i would have gotten a damn refund and made them pay for the detail. that was bullshit what they did to your paint.

im glad you were able to get it fixed. presidential detail does a wonderful job :0

No way I would use the brush at the carwash, just the pressure washer for rinse.

I put the other shop out of business...called the Florida Dept of Agriculture and Services to investigate him and it turns out he wasn't legit and avoiding taxes so he's screwed.

I like to pretend its an Eg6 ...One can always dream.

All I would do is put some wheels and OEM SIR corners on it and you're set. Looks amazing, makes me want to go out and polish my car.
