Paid a guy $75 cash in Charlotte to "hand wash" my truck before the haul, and the paint came back cloudy

I figured a quick hand wash at a lot on South Blvd would save me from shipping a filthy truck, so I handed over $75 and left it with him for an hour. When I picked it up, the hood had swirl marks all over it and a haze that a regular bucket wash never would have left, plus the guy had used some cut-rate soap that dried in the sun. Has a seller ever been burned like this right before a transport pickup, and how did the carrier handle it when the driver noted the paint on the inspection sheet?
