Well, I didn’t see a thread about this topic, nor did I see a section so I’m going to start one.
I spend a lot of time (typically every saturday of the warmer months) keeping my car in pristine shape. My paint, which is all original, is evidence. It is smooth as glass and very nice.
Here is my personal list of stuff that I use to detail my car:
5 Gallon Professional Wash Bucket with Grit Guard - Link
Spray wheels with cleaner and scrub with wheel brush after letting sit for a minute or two.
Rinse wheels.
Repeat spraying wheel cleaner and scrubbing.
Rinse
Rinse the car from top to bottom
Wash the car with Meguiars Car Wash
Dry the car with Waffle Weave towel
Clay bar the car (this step is only done 1-3 times the entire year, not every saturday - FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS
Rinse off residue from claybar
Wash the car again with Meguiars Car Wash
Dry the car again with the WW towel
Wax the car with the Optimum Car Wax (this wax, cuppled with the clay baring, makes the car’s paint feel like glass - the prize for all that work above)
As for the interior…I just vacuum the crap out of it. I’ve been using cheap cleaners but this year I am picking up this kit to use on my interior:
I’m going to be getting back to you and like 4+ other people on Friday. Sorry it’s taken me so long, I just got back from NYC an hour ago, I’m detailing a car tonight, I’m picking up the car and working tomorrow, and I’m going to be detailing the living crap out of the MR2 on Friday.
Alright then that’s settled :lol
My basic exterior detail is $60, my “shit your pants” exterior detail is $100. I’d recommend the SYP, you’ll see on Friday how I can “revive” red carz :excited
absolutely. i’m free weekdays after 3PM and anytime during the weekends, for the most part. just let me know 7-10 days in advance so i can ask to have that time off from work.
