detailed the X5

Well I spent 4 hours detailing my X5 on march 16th at work (no I wasn't on the clock). stop at the car wash a block from my house and gave it a good long wash and hand wax. got home found a spot to park went to sleep woke up the next morning and could hear the roofers working... on my way to the X5 leaving for work I see a paper thin blue tarp on my X5 with roofing debris on it.....
a couple pics to show you what I mean.. please note I spent 4 hours making this look nice. that means touchup paint for the few marks from before a clay bar, polishing compound, wax. Since I did it at work I had coworkers and police officers looking at it while I was doing it and after I got done. Two of the officers want to hire me to detail their personal cars.

I tried to resolve this easy and nice.... YES this is uncharacteristic of me.
after the supervisor looked at it he said looks like rocks but we don't want you unhappy we will write you a check for $20. ..... I may have lost my temper a little at that point with a reply "WHAT the touchup paint costs more then that.

now they will not talk to me, soon as I give my name they hang up the phone.



I will no longer ever try to buy something nice. I will never own another nice car...
