Detailed my car today

Spent 8 hours washing, claying, polishing and waxing car. Hard work but well worth it. Also wanted to see how my tailights work work in evening light since i sprayed them a couple of days ago. Click on pics to enlarge and enjoy.

I thought it would be a good idea to bring my son to that class. Since then, he has been bugging the crap out of me to get the buffer and supplies. I ordered last week and just the buffer arrived. I'm hoping to get everything else today so I can let him go on his Bronco. Once he masters that (with the buffer) he can do my car. Isn't that way we really have kids?

Thanks. Well worth the hard work, buffer comes in real handy saves on getting 'popeye' forearms. Good luck with 3 step Maguiars system, well worth the money.

Tudu, very nice job.

I suggest that you get a pair of CHROME turn signal bulbs. It will eliminate the EGG YOKE look.

Thanks. Wish i could sleep that long. Car only done twice a year (with waxes in between) so 16 hours per year is a small price to pay for a clean car.
