Discussion with other detailer..

Very true PC, I'm just surprised that she'd post that kinda info to potential customers on the board! (She is a paying sponsor on the site) Guess she thinks that her way is the best..

Yeah I know, I'm not even quite sure how to address this. I need to figure out some type of response while I'm in my next class.

Just put a link to this thread as your post and one of these little guys. ( :nana: )
 
The word dolt comes to mind with her. I can't believe a paying sponsor would write such drivel and show her ignorance. Tort, where can I get a copy of that program? lol
 
For me it seems like that person is working on speed mainly. The quicker they get done the better it is.



Thats all. She tries to get the job done as quickly as possible withpout much regard to the customers car.



That is one of the main reasons I never let anybody touch my car unless really called for. This is with service as well.
 
Her reply to my last post:



no no.. no your being completly fair when saying this. But im also quite protective about my techniques. Ive worked very hard for years to perfect my technique so im pretty vage sometimes.



so to start things off...Of course your going to disagree with my methods or get confused. Your not using a makita or a dewalt mutlispeed polisher. Your using a Porter Cable and im using an industrial tool. Your comparing apples and oranges here.. Your method is safe, mine requires years of mastering and its high risk..



i cant even imagine using the porter cable everyday for 2 or more cars a day. Id die.



these are the machines to use. And i stand by it.. but i would never recommend anyone to buy one unless they know what they are doing for the same reason why u are using your porta.. you can **** **** up good (or yourself). pardon my french!



cheers,

Jewelz

And my simple response: :)



I use a Makita 9227 rotary and a PC7336.

Actually, I’m surprised with how civil her response was. Arrogant and condescending (and clueless), but civil nonetheless.





PC.
 
I can't seem to take a person seriously when they can't capitalize/spell/apostrophize/paragraph but can be condescendent/ignorant/close-minded/arrogant/the list goes on...



I guess she's at least somewhat civil... I suppose I could give her that at least.
 
After a couple replies from some other people, seems like she snapped.



yeah ok. after i spent 3 years busting my *** managing and polising at a detail shop so i could pay my dues before i did my own.. i dont think so. Hence why i dont higher people eaither. And if i do, they dont polish. Thats my department.



If anyone knows anything about the detail industry, half of the shops out there are started up by other people leaving other shops and opening up their own. I am protective for some very good reasons. I know how this works because i did this myself. And im definatly glad i didnt reply mcuh to you (metal) via pm before when u wanted to know what i used. YOur pretty darn firm about your detailing on the forum but asking me a lot of advice outside the boards.. i dont think too much of that personally



infact forgive me for ranting but im quite tired from working. Plus im quite annoyed with all these detailing threads. Nice self promotion. Seeing as im a sponsor it makes me feel as tho i shouldnt have any reason to sponsor anymore. If i could just create these threads talking about "someones ****** paint" then why should i pay good money.



call me unprofessional but this is bull. I worked hard to be where i am and i dont need some guys telling me whats what.. do it your way, ill do it mine.



im done

I'm not gonna take this any further.. I like how she says shes glad she never replied to me in PMs..Too bad that was right when I started detailing over 6 months ago, and posted ONE thread. Sigh.
 
Yeah I pretty much just made a little retort to end it...



Yeah...I asked you in two PM's what your opinion of a couple products were, and you said you had never heard of them before; that and "meguiars stuff is good for generic waxes" is pretty much everything you've ever told me. I should be damn firm about the way I work, I have been active on multiple international detail specific forums, and have talked to a number of industry majors and long time detailers since I first asked you about those products 6 months ago, in March when I started getting into detailing, and have made it pretty much my life since then thanks to all of those people. Thats all I had to say, I'm done here as well. You have your method, I have mine. As long as the customer is happy, thats all that matters.

What a tool. I'd be apprehensive about letting someone use a rotary on my car in the first place (all the bad ones you see)......let alone someone with her attitude of quantity is better. Hopefully she's a better detailer than she comes across as.....if not, I feel sorry for all those poor cars she touches.



Edit: Also, why would someone like that even bother posting on a forum? She's not willing to take any advice or constructive criticism, and she won't give advice because she needs to protect her "method". Seems like she's wasting her time even posting.

Heh. It's a screenshot from a program that actually exists: http://www.bitboost.com/pawsense/



It detects when Fluffy is doing the kitty dance on your keyboard.

P.S./Off-topic: Any FARKers on here catch the RouterCat thread yesterday? Beware soft-drinks and/or milk spraying from your nose; this is LOL stuff: http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=2313180
 
Wool will definitely do a better job, but at the same time, doesn't it remove more paint?



I can't take someone seriously when (1) their spelling is incorrect and (2) the way they chose to say those words. I can sense a bit of hostility and degredation in her responses.



Let people believe what they want to believe. Using wool on every car is unecessary. Sometimes it's better to put more time into your work than to rush it.
 
Yeah, I like how its been sitting like that for a week before they decided to DELETE some of my whole posts, and edit out stuff and delete her posts that made her look bad due to her own behaviour and advice. It moreso probably got shut down due to all the mods being friends with her, and with each other...
