Yea, that's the only way to describe it for a car guy.
I was visiting with a neighbor while she was washing her black, 6 yr old 3-series BMW. She asked me to look at some hood scratches. Unfortunately, they were deep..all the way to the primer. Also, the paint looked 'brittle' around them. Like it was flaking there. Told her that the 'scratch remover' she bought wasn't going to fix this.....
I asked if she ever waxed. "No". Mentioned it was a good idea.
Now the bad part....she took the bucket of black water she'd scrubbed all four wheels with and dumped it on top the car and began grinding away......
I had no words....nothing would come out....
HORRIFIED!
