Its kinda like when you watch those car crash videos on Spike TV.
You know that its not right to laugh because some real damage was done, but you're glad its not your car it happened to.

i think we're just all hatin' cuz even w/ that shitty detailing techinques, guy gets Bentley clients who's willing to pay $1000 for the Continental Package while most of us have cheap friends who wouldn't even pay $20 for lunch at WhiteSpot for a gruesome 3-stage "detail meet".

no... we're hating because he's an asshole who will probably never get another bently client after this detail.
oh, and whitespot sucks my left nut.

I think we're more disappointed than hatin'. It'd hard to imagine there's all these self-deluded individuals that think they're awesome at something.
"don't worry if you get the inside wet, we'll get that out later."
And I guess after 25 years he's learned that power washing takes all the stuck-on dirt off?
fkna... my dad would kill me if I did that to our cars.
Why did he need to detail a car that was clean, shiny and gleaming in the first place? Is it because that no matter the quality of job, the end result will always look good for video review?

i think it was just for video recording purposes

That was the most half-assed "detailing" I've seen. There is a very good chance my dad would hit me if i washed his car like that!

I can't imagine all the water and possible water damage inside the cabin and behind the door panels.
Where's the epic fail? If you get your car washed at any of the places locally they would probably do it the same way.
Manic!

Would they really use 409 to wash a car?

even if this is a $1000 beater this is still a fail job at cleaning it.

Have you guys ever washed door jambs before? There's nothing wrong hosing the jambs...only way to get water damage is to spray directly onto the panels...which he didn't.

I think he said that was a dirty mitt for the door jambs and tires.
Again..I dont know what the big fuss is...the fact he had the doors open to wash jambs is making you guys freak? You do realize he would closed the doors and trunk before washing the car right?
His choice of product might be wrong....that's the only thing... Now stop crying over an overpriced car.

Honestly I've never seen anyone take a hose directly to the door jambs. If you're washing some beater, sure go for it but who the hell risks spraying water all over the interior and in side the door panel on a $100,000+ car? A wet rag and some elbow grease usually does the work for me when I clean my jambs.

Reason you dont see it because when you drop your car off for a detail..you dont SEE what's going on.
Hosing door jambs and using a wash mitt avoids scratches....you dont wash your car with a wet rag...so why would you wash door jambs with it.
What little overspray of water hits the panel...can easily be wiped.

I would never take a hose to the door jams, just in case water gets inside the panels, which it will
just like stated, wet cloth and elbow grease works for me also
I wouldnt risk getting any of my leather and electronics wet

I can only assume you missed the waterfall of water pouring into the trunk as he sprayed the thing.

lol....its to avoid scratches in the door jambs? I guess you missed the part where he was using the same mitt that he used on the fucking WHEEL WELLS and stuffed into the greasy hinge area. A dirty mitt will cause less damage than a clean, wet cloth?

I once worked as a detailer and everything he did in the video was pretty common. Keep in mind some shops have a higher standard than others. Ya and there are some things in the video that I would never do to my own car.

I saw overspray of water going into the trunk...anyways..it's just water..what's the big deal...Im guessing you never open you door on a rainy day?

A dirty mitt gets rinse in the bucket of soap...hosing the jambs and soapy wash mitt will prevent less scratches.
A wet rag just spreads the existing dirt in the door jambs which causes scratches....I've detailed Bentley's before...those Bentley's have 10" door jambs...so it's quite easy to notice scratches.
Like I said...if you truly are a detail fanatic...you would wash your jambs just like the outside of your car.

It's VERY common...I think people are too worried about the overspray of water.

Anyone who cares for their car doesn't wash it like that, and that proves why you should always do shit yourself, unless the person has awesome credentials.
