My very first detail 2 years ago took me about 8hrs. Wash Clay Compound Polish Wax Wax Now, it takes longer... 12hrs min either because a) became worse at it? b) became even more anal? IDK... take your pick :)

What's a clay?

Re: What was your very frist car you owned? 1990 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa Looked just like this except mine was AT with blue cloth interior.

^ I would have done the same :)

I can't believe you guys don't remember the Hyundai Excel :D

I use D114 all the time and Meguiar's does say that it leaves nothing behind. Altho I have no scientific proof, I can say that the paint actually squeaks after all is said and done.

Great vid! :dblthumb2:

I guess you guys didn't see the one where he uses tranny fluid and throws sand all over the car and goes at with a rotary. I guess it was his version of "wet sanding" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUqDRIHPxjk

Congrats on the new ride! A friend just bought a 2015 Genesis AWD Sedan and while we were at the stealership... they had a silver Genesis Coupe on the showroom floor. They literally had to pull me away from the Coupe.... considering I was there to help negotiate on my friends car! lol The...

One think I can certainly agree to... A clean car does put me in a good mood :)

My #1 preference is Friday night so that the car and the tire dressing fully dries for me to enjoy the car on the weekend.

If the OP is looking into detailing for money, I would look at what is the best value.... the best bang for the buck.

This is exactly what I would do. :xyxthumbs:

I wouldn't. If anything, I would compare the MF finishing pads with something like the LC CCS white or green pads.
