...of washing and detailing my Vibe and my wife's Malibu Maxx today. I am friggin' exhausssssssssssssssssssssss... WHOA! Sorry, I fell asleep on the keyboard for a second there. it would have been even longer had I not done a thorough clay-baring last time. Ugh.Don't get me wrong, I *LOVE* clean cars, but I didn't even get a chance to do the interiors, and I am whoopppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp...

LOL! You sound like me last weekend after I did a full detail on my mom's GT. I washed it, dried it, clayed it, washed it again, dried it again and than put one coat of wax on on Saturday. Let that "cure" overnight and than put the second coat on on Sunday. I was going to detail the interior too, but I just didn't have the energy. Thank goodness I only do this full detail twice a year .I am doing the same thing to mine this coming Memorial Day weekend. Should be fun since the temperatures are supposed to be way warmer than when I did my mom's .

I did a wash/clay/wax last thanksgiving & I was wiped out from it. I dont really like washing my car but I love the results from a job well done. Hard work but the Vibe looked better than when i bought it. Want to do it once again before rainy season begins, but the wheather is awfully hot this time of the year....not sure if I want to torture myself in the hot Florida sun lol.

Husband and I are thinking of actually taking advantage of the hot sunny weather... detailing the cars while in our swimsuits! Tanning and pretty cars at the same time, good thing we don't live on a busy road lol. Gonna need lots of sunscreen though, four hours outside is a long time...

Washed/detailed mine today...found yet ANOTHER bag from the previous owner wedged under the back seat on the driver's side...great cleaning job dealership. Also finally posted a photo of her!

Judging on how beat up I was yesterday, I need to start working out, just to detail this thing properly for our meet in July! Either that, or just do the exterior and put "DO NOT ENTER" signs for the interior.

You people kill me. I washed my car...once.

Here is what a did of my week-end. I do detailing as a side-line during week-ends. Don't want anyone to feel ashamed of anything. I just like doing it and I can make money out of it, so it's alright.Saturday : washed, polished, glazed than waxed a 2008 black F150 CrewCab. Also vacuumed and did a quick interior cleaning.Sunday AM: wash a really dirty 2008 Ranger inside and outPM : washed my mom's G6, then tryed my new carpet cleaner in this car.Today AM: washed, then polished, glazed and waxed a 1998 RangerPM : washed my Vibe, then waxed it with the Ultimate Quick Wax from Meg's. Makes my car look like a just spent hours polishing it.Now, I really need to sit and/or sleep.I'm already booked for the next 3 week-ends, 2 cars per w-e.I always take before/after pictures of every car I detailing if anybody wants do see them.

I'll do it when I have a minute.I have a big 2009 Sierra 2500HD to do this PM when I get home from work. This is a good one for before/after. It's a delivery truck with almost 150 000 km already and not even a year old. Then, I have 2 Caddy CTS scheduled to detail this week-end.
