A good reason not to be lazy and clean your own car like I do.
No one looks after a car better than the owner?

Moral of the story is don't give your cherished car to anyone you don't trust. I once had a dufus mechanic drive my 308 for a night out with his g/f. He denied it but the mileage and a witness showed otherwise.

You do realise it's the rear offside and the front nearside that's damaged don't you?

But there's no reason for a Valeter to be driving it.

millions of people manage to drive in the wet without crashing.

Sadly this has all the hallmarks of a enthusiastic (not necessarily bad) driver who got carried away behind the wheel of a high performance car. Although i'd be happy if I am wrong and another numpty forced unavoidable action on the Ferrari driver.

I think the issue here is "letting someone else drive your Ferrari is dangerous" rather than having it cleaned by someone else...
Drive it yourself to them or get a mobile detailer, it isn't exactly rocket science.

Didn't I mention cherished car? Nobody's going to worry about a eurobox or shed are they?
