WTF was that, WoW if he cared as much about his paint as he did his filming skills his paint would be flawless, needless to say I'm sure he has swirls galore and on white paint how the hell does one accomplish that unless you just don't give a shit!!!

It's just ignorance, plus, he doesn't see the swirls too badly on WDP.

You are counting on common sense from a guy who obviously runs INTO burning buildings rather than away from them...

LMAO......However, we are ALL jealous that he uses a fire station to wash his ride in.....Good use of public infrastructure money, no doubt.

ive seen the same and worst situation. I was at the car wash where they use the exact same kind of hard brush. They had 2, one for scrubbing wheel+tires and one for the body. This guy picks up the brush for wheels and tires, starts scrubbing his dirty wheels 1st.. and moves up to the body.. WHAT A FAIL.. at that rock chip landing on the brush and onto the paint.. idiot..

1) they're just plain idiots as long as they get the dirt off
2) why would they care? lol yeah they should if they want you to keep coming back but they don't lol

i bring my truck to a 5 dollar cash car wash between 6-12pm lol that's what they do.. surprisingly they start from the top and go down but then again it's only one biggg bucket and brush and 2 guys on each side lol so you know that water is horrible from all the cars going threw there
