Impressive stuff, scrubs up well.

Can't say I could be bothered to go to that level, as I say on most of these detail threads, but impressive none-the-less.

And then you drive it - I assume you DO drive it? - and it's all dirty again. Waste of time... just wash the bloody thing.

It's not 'detailing'.............

It's just called cleaning. I could even accept valeted, or polished, but detailing, what a crock of scensorede.

With the weather as it is right now, why waste 8 hours cleaning your car, when after a 10 minute drive, it'll be filthy all over again.

I'm all for driving a clean car, but I have so many other things to do with my time, work for one...

Great detail job, nice pics too. Clearly dedicated!

White must be a hard color to keep clean. Red is bad enough!

Yes it is. Normal people wash and polish their cars. People with OCD detail their cars and people with chronic terminal OCD detail their cars and post a link to it with lots of pics. . . . . hehe

That's no excuse, you can still type in English. Since you claim to have been lurking for some time before you started posting you should have noticed that txt speaking chavs usually get short shrift round here.

If you want to be taken seriously then type in clear English and you'll be welcomed. Type like an illiterate twelve year old and you'll get a lot of abuse. Your choice.

I don't get it at all, can't remember the last time my car got cleaned.

Actually I do - first week in August, looks a bit like the before shots.

It got cleaned when the owner was selling it. It'll be cleaned after the next owner buys it and drives it away. thumbup

Drive, don't detail. thumbup

Good job!

Don't like the bolt on tail pipes at all, did the dealer chuck 'em in for free?

Other than that, the car looks great!

For those saying it will just get dirty next time she drives it, yes, it will, but cleaning and waxing etc will help to build up a layer that will protect the paint from all the salt and other crap on the roads. Very much worthwile doing any time of year.
