F...

Any details I can use to build my case would be greatly appreciated.

What WAS there? How should they have KNOWN how to treat it?  Any resource that shows something like this? Maybe someone on YouTube or something has covered this seemingly basic task? I do not believe the R22 has some "super special fancy boat coating that the other 100k boats they service doesn't?” I will gladly tell you all the shop, but only after I know how they F'd up. Pardon my french.


I have a habit of making a scene... Today I had my 7yo son with me... And I try to minimize his exposure to "daddy flew off the handle because his expectations were failed by a fucking professional".

Ooo I swore again... Admittedly I am not looking for a $$$$.xx spend.

I do have insurance.... As mentioned before.. it's better I minimize exposure to them.

Meltzer knows... Lol
Thanks everyone.  I'd like to wrap this up fast.

I suppose for now I will call them and make them aware I am
unhappy/aware/centeringmyself that they caused damage.?

Enough ramble for now, thanks again,
Tom
