Then that's a real shame.

Or, look at it the other way. The more cars people like these guys damage, the more business there is out there for proper detailers who do it right.

Every time I see a mobile guy in a Wal Mart parking lot doing it wrong to an expensive car, it makes me smile a little on the inside...

Or, if this was at a racetrack, the marks that tire works leave on a car's paint as they bounce off of the hood. Could have been that as well.

Probably using it to remove brake dust/tire residue from fender areas of the car.
