Default Had to share - Don't lean on cars!

So I had some friends over for some BBQ, it started to rain, and pulled my Q into the garage. Long story short, one friend of a freind decides to lean on my car... i was too busy BBQ'n and forget to stop him...and this is what he did

just thought I would give him a quick plug for the great work he did removing the scratches. if you ever need a hand taking our a scratch, he uses the best products available ( Mederna, Klasse, Poorboys, Swissvax).....expensive stuff.....

good kid, super bright! knows his stuff. my was turned into a smile!

Nice save - your friend should have taken his pants off before leaning on the car

Anyone who leans on a car wearing buttons/zippers is not a true friend.

Glad to see it ended well!

Yeah, perhaps not a good friend, but my bet is that friend was not a car guy. We here know not to do this, but you'd be surprised how clueless the general population is with things like this.

But glad it all worked out in the end, car looks better than new now!

You need one of those signs displayed at car shows-Don't touch the car unless your in the nude!
However, it's probably a better idea if you have lady friends over...could get unpleasant with the guys

I just caught my daughter leaning on my vette yesterday with her tiny denim shorts. I freaked at her.

She promptly turned her butt towards me to show it did not have any rivets. I freaked even more...she now knows to keep her butt away from my car unless she doesn't want to sit down for a week.

Kids today...OMG

She is a good kid and respects everyone and everything, but sometimes I want to grab her by the neck. Just because it's ok to lean on her car with those pants, does not mean she can lean on my girlfriend. Violet has a personal space too.

Yeah I might also be interested in his services if he does detailing and polishing. My car could benefit from a good one over.

Moral of the story only invite nudists to your BBQ if its going to rain and the party moves into the garage.

Hi there, I did speak with Miro and he has no problem helping out my corvette friends. Since he does not do this for a living, and it is his hobby, he has been doing this for the last 8 years on friends and personal cars. He is a humble guy that does not knwo his value, i trust that anyone going to him will take care of him. ( he charges what you think it is worth - product costs and fair labour)

647 530-3809 Miro

Regards,
Mo

Nice save. I would have been ticked off if that has happened to my ride. Not to nit pick but did you mean "Menzerna" for one of the polish products used? Glad it worked out, he does nice work.

oops yes, Mezerna. I have since had him work on my car to get out some other blemishes and they turned out to be great!
