Detail a Rental?!?!?!

[the other pc]

Geez, what kind of nut case would detail a rental?!


Oh, um, in this pic that would be me (and it wasn't even my rental ).

(Thanks to Paulvr4 for sharing his rental. )

Heck of a rental.

If I rent a car or borrow someones car , and use it for a couple of days , I will clean it up. I will vaccum the interior and clean it with some spray foam or a little ammonia and water. I will clean the windows and wheels and dress the tires. On the outside I will just use a cleaner wax.On a rental car it just makes me feel better. On a friends car it just my way of saying thanks. Ive have yet to get a discount on a rental car when I bring it back cleaner then when I got it.

seems like good practice to me. i wish i had my PC when my sis had a rental.

ah well. instead i just practice on my old truck or scrap doors/hoods etc...

the g/f's car...she don't care...but i won't ruin it.

Omg lol I had a loaner car from the Dealer while they put a new trans in my truck. They loaned me a silver Ford Fusion it was brand new only 200 miles on it So I detailed it, the weekend I had it. Luckily all it needed was a wash and some M21 and detail the inside but boy were they happy when I brought it back. LOL I thought I was nuts and didnt want to say anything lol.

thanks the other pc,

As you can see I manage to go to Megs when I can when I go to LA. So far i've been there 3 times and each time I meet up with old MOL buddies and make new ones...as well as learn on some rentals I feel good about the rotary now - it's not as hard as I thought it was!!!

another note:

If you ask for a car that just came in and promise them you'll drive it through the car wash they will give you a discount, in my case I was offered $25 off my overall rental...but i didn't get it anyways.

I once washed a beater Tercel the garage lent me while they were fixing my own old Tercel.

I didn't wax it, but I couldn't stand seeing it dirty like that.

Maybe I'm among the nuts because I always wash and dry rental vehicles. I just believe in treating other peoples property as if it belonged to me. I have the same attitude towards my customers vehicles as well. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

I actually polished the cab portion of the U-Haul I had two weeks ago .. I just couldn't stand looking at that faded orange paint.

Made the girl at the return counter laugh, but they didn't give me a discount.

[Paulvr4]

she laughed b/c no one else would do such a silly thing.

did you get her #?

[pcfxer]

Don't get her number she calls us "crazies." Get the number from the girl that says, "Holy ****, you're car crazy AND you use Meguiar's."

Don't laugh at that, I'm dating one that said exactly that.
