So lets start off with what this car started off as. It came in with more scratches than you can believe. I asked what happened, the response shocked me, you know those brushes at the car wash meant to be used on tires? Ya, wellllll, her boy friend thought it would be a good idea to use it on the car. So it looked like it was washed with sand paper. So I said I can probably take care of it.My weapons of mass cleaning:Before:After:

you used some of the best products for waxing but got the cheapest car wash soap out there LOL .JKhard to tell from the photos which ones are before and after? JK

Looks good to me!I'm sure the pictures really arent doing the b4 and after justice.

Not sure how the leaf blower helped, but it looks great!

LOL! Ya, the car wash is superb. =p Naw, Its what I had laying around. XD The leaf blower helps dry it and gets the water out from the cracks and such.

Looks shiney... wanna do mine next?

Haha, well that was 70 bucks. Sooo if you wanna drive to PA and pay me 70. Then its all good.

Yikes those scratches were terrible.Good job!

Not sure if you did your own research or read up on some of my posts for the products used. The 83 is perfect for getting that deep crap out of your paint after a clay barring. And the 80 helps to remove any lighter swirling and hazing. Top that off with the 26 and you can put a car in showroom condition. Good Job!

Looks great, but I'm confused as to what you used the leaf blower for while detailing a car.

Whelan: I used a bit of your information, and a bit from my friends at auto geeks. =] It worked great though.lovemyraffe: It was used to dry the car primarily without having to touch it, it even got the cracks dry. Then I just had to hit it with a microfiber.

it's pretty handy around the grille and stuff too to get those spots you cant quite reach. Hope you did the door jambs and fuel door area as well.I'm takin the power washer to mine next week.

Oh noez, the pressure washer. = Aka, the thing if you get a piece of grit in it, it becomes a sand blaster. LOL

70bucks your cheap... i am getting my car detailed inside and out for about 160

I am cheap. I should have charged more. But that was only the outside. And only the paint. No glass, no interior, no wheels. So, it wasn't that bad.

I'm terrified of getting my car detailed! I just don't think anyplace would do it with the same care and attention I do. After 2 hours washing and detailing my car last weekend, Chris pointed out he's never seen anyone, let alone a girl, clean a car with such intense concentration before. Meguire's takes me to my Zen place

Lol, thats a lot of concern from my clients. But they see what I do and they feel more comfortable. I put 6 hours on that car alone. o.O
