need help....badly
went to the carwash tonight to wash my truck. and i sprayed the presoak washed it then rinsed then clear coated and rinsed. then spot free rinsed. well it was poorly lit because it was sunset and the lights hadn't come on in the bays yet. so i pull out and get into sunlight and noticed something faded into my truck and turned it a real light shade of pink in some areas any one have an idea on how to get it out..i tried to go back through and rewash it with no success. the pre-soak was coming out purple i know that but didnt think anything of it.

well after about 3 hours of nice hard buffing and waxing i got the pink out of the truck..took it to the guy who owned the car wash and he said someone broke in and dumped dye in all of the machines..he said he would have payed for it but i told him not to worry about it..he gave me a $150 check for the buffer i had to buy and the compund and wax..

Glad you got it taken care of.Good thing it came out with the buffer.You probably would have bankrupted the guy if he had to foot the bill for a paintjob.

Free Buffer... Sweet!!!

Re: need help....badly
i know the thread is old but i drove by the car wash again tonight and saw 2 cops sitting there i guess the guy came back again and this time stole everything. but thats what the guy gets for having a car wash in the middle of nowhere. just sad all these punk ass kids breaking into everything..caught one breaking into my truck and i shot him in the leg with a rubber slug out of my 12 gauge it was pretty funny watching him ball like a baby.

I'm afraid of what I might do to a person that screwed up my truck like that. I'm glad you got it fixed and got reimbursed.
