Car Wash Nightmare !!

[str8.ght acceleration]

OK, I have a black SRT8 Charger..
Took the familly to Disneyland in California, I live in Arizona..
Well when I get back the cars grill and windshield are full of bug guts, dead butterflys, small cats, And I think what is left of a mustang that was going to slow.
Anyways I hate for the car to be in this condition and decide to go to a local carwash to get her all cleaned up (I usually wash the car myself)..
When I get there I have to pay first $20.00, No big deal, They tell me drive around the building to enter the car wash (this carwash you stay in your car and go thru the machine)..
Well this is where it all starts. I see a line of cars just sitting there, The wash machine is broken they say....hmmm.
Well they say we will hand wash it for you for the same price (usually 10 dollars more they say), OK ill give it a shot I guess.
I pull to another spot and am greeted by a acne faced kid about 15-16 years old, He tells me I have to leave the vehicle and go inside and he will take care of my car....hahaha... NO WAY!!
I said sorry but I just dont let anyone drive my car but me..I was nice about it..
Well he just stands there and finally lets me stay with the car..
I drive to the wash area and see 2 guys with BIG!! belt buckels on and metal watches....NO!!!!!!!!!
They also laid those buckels on the Toyota in front of me as they washed it..
I request no belts or watches, They laugh and take them off, Again I was nice about it..
Ok I get to the dry off area and get out of the car..
They dry off the car and wash the windows, But what do I see.... One of the teenagers there was driving a 5.0 Mustang and parked behind my SRT while locking the brakes and sliding behind my car(Tires were wet).. Missed my car by about 2 feet, He gets out and laughs then walks away.....(I am getting mad now).
Then comes time for the tire dressing...
This kid sprays on the tire dressing by spraying it out of the bottle and using compressed air to fog it on my tires, I am like what is he doing..
Well they say the car is done........
I walk up to my nice BLACK SRT and what do I see.....
Armor All, All over the rims and on both sides of the paint..
Hand prints on the glass and paint from Armor All on there hands.
Still have dead bugs, small cats, ETC: on the front grill, And water spots all over the car..
I show them all this and they try to wipe off the armor all but just spread it everywhere..
The manager comes out and I tell him about it, He looks at the car and says he will have it rewashed and machine buffed for me for free but I had to leave it for 3 hours....hmmm, NO THANKS.
I ask for my money back, he says no because he will rewash it.
Then I say "Is this how you treat customers cars, no repect".
He says "Its only a charger we wash 5-10 a day and he does not no what the big deal is".
I say its not just a charger its a SRT8, He just looks at me(No Clue).
Anyways I had to go to the store and buy good soap and wash the car myself tonight, It took 2 hours to get that damn armor all off the car..
My advise-----WASH YOUR CAR YOURSELF!!!!

Just had to vent

Sorry for your misfortune at the carwash. It sucks. Obviously it isn’t their car, they’re paid pennies and frankly they don’t give a crap about you or your car as demonstrated by how they eagerly took your money for crap service. Yes be safe and wash your own bug guts off.

Down the road these are the same monkies that will be putting 10W30 Quaker State in your crank case, change your own oil too!

i always go to the car wash, manual wash use that pressure water gun, extremely effective for breakdust removal, all the guys wear blue overalls and know what they're doing, and wouldn't do ANYTHING without asking for your permission, soap, wax, polish, interior cleaning with vacuums and such, all for .... 6 bucks automatic, 9 bucks manual.
the stock grill lets in ALOT of debris, i was thinking of installing a black mesh on the inside part of the grille so that it would stop huge cockroaches and weird bugs to stick onto the radiator thing.

I took my wifes truck there once. I about 3 finger pimp slapped the people doing the truck. They have no respect until I walked out and saw there we're doing a sh!tty job. Once they saw I was pissed they got their act together.
Never go back there

That sux... but try this bit of hell on for size:
The wife of the owner of a business I use to work for stopped and let a highschool band charity wash do her car. A really sweet pearl white Lexus, had about 2300 miles on it.
It looked good till it dried.
The paint looked really dull.
They had washed her car with scotchbrite pads.


Lets just say she was peeved and leave it at that..
