I don't blame them....I'm gun-shy about white on customers bikes too. A bike can come in slathered in road grit, and with sweaty torn bar tape that used to be white, but if there's even a speck of grease on it upon return, the owner will go ballistic. "Please do a 30-day checkup" somehow means "please give my bike the 2-hour spa treatment for free, even though I don't love it enough to even apply chain lube".

Not saying that all cyclists are like this, but there's a few out there....
