Has anybody ever been to the White Glove Car Wash right off Harbison & the Blvd.? Everytime I go there, there's always a guy with a big white van with the same story about how he has these speakers that his company doesn't know he has and how they are worth $2000.00. He's always asking me to make him an offer.... when it's not that there's always some other junkie asking for gas money or asking for money for food cuz he hasn't eaten in days when he looks like he weighs like a triple duce. There's always this one old black guy askin me if he can dry my car for me. If I needed that then I would have just driven through the car wash instead of doin it myself. The best one is the guy that is always pedaling around on his bike all nonchallant asking me if I can help him out with money cuz he's a blind veteran.... how the hell is he pedaling around in his bike if he's blind?? I don't even think Dare Devil can do that!! Has anybody ever seen these or fell for them??

the speakers out of the van is a common hustle. there is a company that uses this sales tactic to sell their speakers. the speakers themselves have nice looking construction and cabinets, and the drivers are usually shiny or otherwise fancy looking. the whole idea is they creats value by saying that they are "$2000" speakers, and they are left over for some big job or an extra set as a result of a paperwork error. the whole idea is they try to convince you to buy them using any method EXCEPT. . . how they actually sound! the reason why they use this sales tactic is because the speakers sound like total crap. they have to use this method because its the only way they can get people to buy speakers wthout hearing them first.
would you buy a TV that "has amazing picture & clarity" without 1st watching it?
would u buy a car that has "amazing power and handling" without drving it?
its a total scam. if you bump nto theese guys, tell them you want a demo and watch them squirm. they will come up with every excuse in the book.
dont buy them - you are throwing your money away on total crap.

LOL Dude i applied for some "home theatre video game installer" job and it turned out to be one of the companys that ride around selling this ****. The dude tried so hard to get me in, and basically tried everything to just get me to say yes. I told him i didnt have the patience to push **** quality products but i might know someone who will.
your first mistake was taking your car to any car wash.

I go to the self wash ones with the pressure washers, i bring my own stuff:
- Bucket
- Xtreme Solutions Car Wash Solution
- Xtreme Solutions Wheel Acid
- Microfiber Wash Mit
- Microfiber Wheel Cleaner Wand thingy
I put soap in the bucket, i spray my wheels with acid, then start the hose for $2.00. I rinse the acid off my wheels, fill my bucket and presoak the car. My 4 minutes runs out, i use my mit and soap bucket to hand wash the car. Once done, i put another $2.00 in the machine, and rinse my car off, and use the "spot free rinse" which works amazing btw.
Total : $4.00
Great car wash, no stress of someone else ****ing your car up washing it, and i dont have to worry about some "brushes" scraping my paint with rocks or any other nonsense.
Anyone else use this method or a similar one?

I go to the self wash ones and bring my own stuff as well. They're the only ones I can go to too. My car is way to low to go
in the drive through ones.

The last thing any of you should do is use a drive through wash if you care about your car. Like I said, just bring them to me :mrgreen:
