Discovered remnants of dead bug splatter on my hood and they didn't bother to detail the trunk. So...pop the trunk later on annnnnd water runs all down the side of the car... WTH?

Job took just under 2 hours to complete, which was interrupted early on with rain that quickly cleared.

Excuse for missing the trunk detail "Sorry, got sidetracked by the rain, I'll give you some money off on your next detail".

Thoughts? Opinions? Would you permit them to touch your car again? Did they do all the work that was supposed to be done in two hours' time? Could it have possibly been done properly, considering the remaining bug guts??

Second thing: the crappy clutch. "Unless you rev it way up-then it seems to shift better. The clutch sux. :bowrofl:

That's a lot of money. I wouldn't hesitate to call them out. If he gives you a discount and makes sure to get it right the next time, then maybe they get a second chance.

But I would never use one of these services. I just don't trust their towels or their technique. Even if the car has to stay dirty for longer periods of time, I would rather do it myself and know that everything is done properly. I'd hate to pay someone else to put swirls in my paint, when I spent so much time learning the right way from Junkman. To qualify, I'm sure there are high quality detailers out there, just none in Austin it seems.
