RE: Just got my car detailed!
A $20 detail. I'm sorry, but the products I use for one detail total more then that. It does look good, but are all the swirls out? I need to see some pics in the direct sunlight to tell you honestly. In that light I could make any car look clean.

RE: Just got my car detailed!
I agree...
I spend way more than that for car cleaning supplies, and when I get around to it... it's literally an all day process. Sure, maybe I go overboard when I do it. But the when complete, it looks fantastic. Plus, the effects from the extensive cleaning last quite some time. The car still shines like hell and the paint is smooth and pure to the touch months and months since the last time I wax/buffed it.
There nothing like taking hours to do it yourself and standing back to look at the finished product.

Clay bars remove the bad crap from your cars paint. Like dust, dirt, and grime. It will make your car unbelievely smooth and shiney. Mothers makes a cool kit. I would suggest looking at it. When I first used it I was amazed at the results.
