o hai.

that is also known as a "basic wash" , not a detail.

detailing involves paint correction, getting all the nooks & crannies that are overlooked usually, also washing , waxing , interior cleaning , and sealing the paint.

any real "detailer" knows wax is an organic compound and usually breaks down in a period of 10-20 days of being on the paint, provided the car is not washed..

please gtfo this forum.


PS: OP, I detail cars. It all depends on what you want done, that really indicates cost / time usage.

This took me 20 hours total.. Provided, I hand buffed roughly half the car. I charged $350.

This is the one I really am most impressed with.

The first five are the BEFORE shots, the last five are AFTER shots.

If you can't tell the difference then I lol at u.

Followed with

The oil within the soap brings a nice sheen to the plastic / leather , softens the materials as it also seeps into the pores of said materials, the cleaning agents in the AA cleaning wipes removes the build up of excess oils from the soap and leaves a nice finish.
