car wash woes...
Discussion
very little time to spare yesterday and whizzed thru the local hand car wash to spruce her up.
i said.. just outside please and go easy round the roof bits.
they said "ok boss..."
the ridiculous pressure washer then stripped a palm sized lump of paint of me nose cone.
my fault. i had been warned by a detailing dude that this can happen but tbh figured it was a bit of an exaggeration.
beware of this guys.
if your interested.. they said in broken english... "it was like that when it came in"
i wont be going again.

Bunch of immigrants, possibly not legal ones, working for cash outside of the tax system, does anyone really think they carry insurance?
No but once youve asked and theyve said "no", you politely inform them that the conversation will be followed by a call to trading standards, immigration, followed by the police. Pesky critters
sorry dude but i gotta agree with the trolley dolly !
dont take it back, and count my blessings it was only me nose.
ive heard to many stories of this happening for there to be any easy fix.
i used to have a sub and crossovers etc in my vw t5. i took that in there once for inside and out clean and when they got in too "detail" it all with silicon spray they had a right good disco on my dollar.
i was in the waiting room reading the paper and thinking... thats odd..the thumping music i can hear playing very loudly from over in the valeting area is what i was just listening to when i arrived.
they cheap and cheerful guys (and lucy) til it goes wrong. then its cheap and nasty.
im feeling like more of a fool for going back now.
i may go back and sabotage the pumps tho.

Sorry to hear that, I've been told by several people that the soft paint used on TVRs can lift under pressure hence I'm always really careful when using mine at home to angle it right and keep the flow down.
Having seen the way some of these goons use their pressure washers on normal cars it's not a surprise to hear what happened to yours, often they aim the jet directly at the car and only a foot or so away thus applying max force to a small area.
Hope you get it sorted soon anyhow....
