Detailing sucks

So for those who didn't know...my car is covered in overspray. The house I'm living at was painted a month ago. The careless painters got overspray ALL OVER my car. Added a nice yellowish/orange touch to my car. The painters decided to come out and ruin my car by putting swirl marks and deep scratches into my paint. Then they say the swirls were not caused by them??? WTF!


So after a few weeks of disputing with them, they are supposedly sending me $150 check, instead of paying the $428 estimate I received to have my car fully detailed, including buffering because my paint is done! Since I have no money, I'm detailing my car myself...minus the buffering.

2 hours later, I have the upper door pillar, fender, and half a door clayed. This sucks!

F you Orlando Painting!!!!!

Still claying... so about 7 hours just into claying...and I've done half the roof, both doors and front fenders and one rear fender. Took me an hour alone taking the paint off the windows and windshield with my fingernail. The sunroof looks to be the worst... I hate this crap.

You lack the skills of a true Detailer. Bummer for you!

they probably have a $500 per claim liability deductible like most of those ******** do...likely fruitless--or more aggravating than imaginable...
