No offense to that guy, but he probably has no idea about many aspects of detailing and thinks what he's selling is a cure all or the best all in one product on earth. He would probably be better off doing something else with what he's selling because he wouuld very likely be doing more damage to the car than improve it.

Mike, you should have invited him to a Saturday Detail Class to show him the ropes on proper vehicle care and maintenance procedures.

I actually had a fairly similar experience at a gas station around the corner from our offices just a few weeks ago. The kid came up, again with this all in one stuff and a really nasty looking rag, and said he was demonstrating this awesome new product. I stopped him in his tracks and told him I work for Meguiar's so, no thanks. He looked at kind of shocked and said "you work for Meguiar's???? You're like the 4th guy today who told me that!" I responded "well, yes, but our offices are just a few hundred yards from here, so..................".

But I felt bad for him because his towel looked like he'd been cleaning brake dust off of German cars for a few days, so I suggested he grab a fresh, clean towel every time he approaches a new vict......er, customer so as not to scare them off. He looked at his rag, shrugged his shoulders as if it weren't all that bad, and walked away.

HA HA That's awesome!!!! How dare he spray that stuff on your car without asking! Good thing you had your Meg's Micro's on hand. I hate those sales guys, they have no idea what they are really selling, and even how to apply it. GOOD SAVE!
