"ive been detailed..."
Discussion
That looks wonderful on a black car and it's very tempting. However, I have a silver (Polar) car and I've never seen a 'detailed' silver car to get any impression of how it looks. I have a feeling it might be a lot less impressive, but would appreciate any advice and/or pictures. Thanks in advance!

my wife already moans when i spend more than 2 hours cleaning my cars then cant be bothered cleaning hers.
a whole day waxing would leave me in the doghouse.
Besides, she wont even know what the guy is doing...I will tell her he is repairing the paintwork...
I've been thinking about this question of what sort of finish you might expect on a silver car - presumably it wouldn't end up quite as reflective as that lovely black gloss? If it did, it might look as though it had been chromed! 
I'm still hoping someone has a picture of a well-detailed silver 911 - I can't believe no one has had it done!?

So the sixteen hours I spend when I give mine a 'proper' clean would see you sleeping outside for an entire week?
I know from my own experiences with Zymol (and Zaino too, for that matter), once you've taken the time to prepare the paintwork and to do the initial polishing, it scrubs up pretty much the same after a quick wash and application of Zymol Field Glaze (or Zaino Z5, or whatever detailing fluid is appropriate for the products you use).
Carnauba wax needs to be topped up periodically, but I'd have thought that it shouldn't be too difficult to spend a couple of hours once a month, or once every other month, doing that yourself once the initial hardwork has been done.
