    i just run it through a $5 car wash and spray wax it.
    most the times i just spray it down with quick detailer and wipe it down with micro towels.

    hrs and hrs wasted on hand washing and drying and shit for nothing really...
    in interior takes time, yea, but the outside not really.

      I find it very satisfying and rewarding after spending hours and hours working in the paint. I put 16 hours of wet sanding into my red car and 4 hours just the other day into my other car polished and waxing it.

        You mean you don't use a 12 bucket system with a fresh cloth for each wipe, bottled demineralized/deionized Perrier, a $1,200 foam cannon with 17 nozzles for each contour of the car, a UV filtered drying light, 6 lbs of clay per panel, and (it goes almost without saying) disassemble the entire car before starting the whole process?

        Odd, I must be doing something wrong.

                    I've actually been hitting up the "coin wash," where they have pressurized water and shit. They have pretty good presoak and a spot free rinse, which is nice.

                      I was about to buy a pressure washer and a presoak setup. Their vids on YouTube were almost fap worthy

                        They have some good products. Those polish pads i sent you a link too in PM are the best i have ever used. The hole taken from the center makes all the difference

                          It really makes sense to have the hole. Also, thanks for the info dawg, it's going to help a lot.

                          Gotta stand out of the crown of "hosers" and single bucket chumps :rofl:

                                Sometimes you have to step back though.
                                watching all these youtube vids on professionally detailing your car
                                you're going to buy all these products and two bucket, clay, wax, sealer, buffing machines, this and that.
                                you're going to end up doing this shit every week because you've become a slave to instagram.

                                just step back for acouple days and ask yourself wtf am i doing?????
                                delete all the items in the checkout cart and just stop.
