The Official Detailing Thread

ok yeah just text me when you figure out when you’d like a spit shine

ok so Ned, just show up there whenever. He’s usually just sitting on his ass.

i hate detailing

:sFi_bat:

+1 d00d. it sux.

i do!

i need to detail mine, its warm enough to actually do this now. ill take pics of mine before and after. its kinda duuuurrrrrrty right now though.

This is what I plan to eventually purchase and use for all of my future details (for myself and friends/family).

I’m going to start purchasing stuff as I go slowly. Some of the stuff is duplicate because some of the kits contain stuff already, but once those run out, I’ll be replacing them with slightly different brands/items to achieve the same purpose.

you actually organized stuff and stuff? damn, man. i just get stuff as i need it.

You should see the rest of that spreadsheet. I have everything I’ve bought for this car organized and priced so I know exactly how much it’s cost me. The only thing I don’t include is maintenance stuff like oil, fluids, wipers, etc. But stuff like audio, aesthetics (rims, etc.), exhaust is all in that spreadsheet.

I’m a VERY organized individual. Almost OCD about it.

i just keep receipts

I have those too for everything (even oil filters). lol.

haha, srsly? i keep records, but i dont really sit there totaling what it costs me.

I don’t really total it…as I buy it, I add it into the cell. That’s the beauty of Excel. I have formulas that do all the adding for me.

Here is links to my two files in case you’re wondering how I have it setup.
