That is as bad as borrowing your buddies brand new Black Toyota Sequoia,(Beautiful truck by the way)using it to tow the boat to the lake, and then taking it to the carwash to get it cleaned and noticing the next morning that there are several gouges right on the corner of bumper on the passenger side. Then sweating whether or not this happened while in your possesion. Did it happen at the lake, at the carwash? I have the car for the whole weekend to tow our boat to the lake and back and I'm completely stressed about these gouges. They're not scratches, but actual gouges!! Add to that my buddy takes immaculate care of everything he owns!! I take monday off work and make a point of getting the truck re-washed so it is nice and clean when I return it. (I like to return things in better condition than when I borrowed them!) The truck comes out of the "touchless" carwash and they park right in front of me to towel it off. Very first thing I see is a second set of gouges Identical to the first set, but about a quarter of an inch to the left!!! I couldn't beleive it. I call the manager over and explain to him that the truck has been washed there twice and that the truck has been scratched twice! He arseures me that it can't be the carwash and we go back and forth for a while until we decied to do a test and mask off the front corner of the truck and send it throught the was again to see if the tape gets torn up. Of course it doesn't so now I can't even prove that the carwash did it!.
It's the worst feeling returning someones vehicle to them and having to say " By the way I totally scratched the hell out of your truck, I'm sorry"
My buddy was cool about it and I told him I would pay to have it repainted at wherever he wanted to get it done.
Now I don't trust any of my special toys to anyone but myself!!
A leeson learned the hard way.
