Saw a guy washing his HBM ZL1 1LE

I’m driving in the family car when I pass a self car wash and see a hyperblue metallic ZL1 1LE paper plates and all about to get washed. He and some other guy are standing around taking pics like he just picked it up from the dealer. The guy picks up the dirty filthy broom brush and starts going at the carbon fiber wing and then the whole body of the car. I almost threw up. I just sped away. It was too late to even get out and tell him he’s just done 900-1000 bucks in damage.

That may have been the second time it was washed like that. I've seen dealer's new car prep areas use brushes too.

See it all the time, especially on new $100k Escalades around here! People just don't care, it is a vehicle to get from point A to point B for most.
