Attn: Beware Of Hack Job Detailers!!
This customer came to me after having his civic freshly painted black, everything was done the right way, the car was completely stripped of everything including glass and seals so that no area was missed. He was then referred by his painter to a "detailer" in the same complex to perform a wetsand/buff on the car. Well, unfortunately he got a hold of the biggest hack I have ever come across. There were severe holograms, swirls, sanding marks that hadnt been completely removed and worse of all he burnt through most of the edges on a fresh paint job!!!
He was well aware that he was getting a service that wasnt up to par once he got the car back and pulled the car into the sun only to find the car looking like a 20 year old car again. He pointed out everything to the guy and he declined any wrong doing, telling him that the swirls are normal for a fresh painted car and they will go away after a month. So he waited a month only to find they are worse and called me up to perform a 50/50 on the hood to show this guy what he was doing was completely wrong. I was able to get the hood looking like it should again and the guy claimed there was no different and trust me it was VERY different! haha! Long story short, the guy didnt even have a legitimate business and I ended up taking on the entire job. I had my work cut out for me!
Are you ready for a nightmare? Keep in mind this cars paint is barely even a month old.

and people get upset with us when we try to steer them in the right direction...if the price sounds to go to be true it probably is. This kind of work costs money due to materials and time involved to do it right and this is a perfect example of why we charge what we charge.

The guy has apparently never had a business, he was just a guy on the side. Found this out when the owner tried to go after him.
