My brother does detailing and he would spend a whole day on washing and waxing. You gotta have one of those electric polishers and ---- loads of wax and sealers. Here are some pic of his work.


This pic show when he first got the car. See the swirls and crap.


After wash and buffing,wax,sealer. Where the swirls go :P


Another pic of it.


Almost like a mirror


The spoiler is like ----, like some cats use it as a scratching post.


BAM!


The owner of the car.


There you go. You just gotta have alot of patients to detail a car.

just wash your car with soap then polish it with regular polishing compund. (use electric buffer or it will take forever) then wax it.
