I took my truck through a car wash in Traverse City Michigan and now I can't sleep. We had the kids at Great Wolf Lodge and I went outside to find about 30 sea gulls sitting on my truck.
In a panic I jumped in and drove to the nearest car wash and proceeded to have the 'crap' removed. Once the jet driers were finished I got out and could not believe my eyes, every panel on the truck is scratched and there are scuff marks from the back and forth action of the large fabric panels used in the car wash.
I own a black 06 lariat crew, which up to this point was beautiful. I am at my wits end about making such a stupid mistake and ruining something I've worked so hard to keep really nice. I spent the next day and a half of our vacation online researching what I might have to do to fix the damage. I am a perfectionist, but I am not a professional detailer.
From everything I've read, this isn't something you just try on a whim and bang you're good at it. I live in a city that from my knowledge has nowhere near the talent presented within this forum when it comes to this art. I don't know what to do next and everyday that passes increases the anxiety over such a stupid reaction to something that in hindsight would have been easily fixed had I taken the time to breathe.
I'd post pics but I need more than 10 posts before that is allowed. What I am looking for is perhaps contact information to someone that is very reputable and within reasonable driving distance that might consider doing what needs to be done short of having the entire truck repainted.
