Default Some pics of a car(s) I detailed. 56k turn up the speed on your buffer.

So I'm bored right now and I haven't been whoring it up as much lately, so I decided to post some pics of a car I detailed. Son of a bitch took 11 hours. Dirty as ----. took 6 hours to clay off all the dirt and little imperfections.

So here we go.

Here are some shots of the finish before washing it.






The whole car


Pics to show the swirls and scratches.








This is why it took sooooooo long to clay. That was from working a portion of the tailgate for a measiling 5 minutes! It was terrible. the tailgate and the roof were the worst, just filth.




Many hours later and the next day, finished.


Close up of the hood. Where'd the swirls go






Here goes some pics of my car's finish before a detail job.






Here are some after shots.






These pics are from a month and a half AFTER the detail job, I didn't take any pictures the day I finished. And in that time has only been washed once, and that was the day before these photos. I'm gonna be honest and say that these pictures does the car more justice then it deserve, cause the paint on my car is TERRIBLE the worst a 15 year detailer has seen in a long time. In those pics you can still see the swirls. I plan on detailing it again soon, but at the moment I am content with the results. I spent 10 hours on this car, and i can't wait to do it again

So there it is. A post with pictures cause hmt loves post with pictures.

I think a buffed/polished car looks better after its sat in the sun for a few hours (after its "done") and then washed once again the next day. then i think it looks the best.

possibly, but unfortunately after claying and waxing, the thing I hate to do most is drying a car. So there would be no way I was gonna wash it after detailing it. :P

believe me man, I am NOT patient at all. I wanted to toss that ---- down and quit soooo many times. On my car I didn't even finish, i quit before making it a true beauty. The truck, also wanted to quit, took a few breaks cause I was soooo sick of it, but I kept going only cause I was getting paid
