[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I detailed my car today.

Posted: 8/29/2014 2:04:20 PM EDT

I started this morning at 0730 detailing the car, and buy the time I was done, it was 1700. What a PITA!!! But I'm happy with the results!

I started with a wash and dry early this morning. I then clay barred the car, polished it, and then waxed it. Once that was done I shined the tires (wipe on shine) and wiped my wheels down. I finished with a quick vacuum and wipe down of the interior.

I am physically beat!

Only thing left to do is take it out, then scream obscenities when that first juicy lovebug bastard kamikazes into your windshield.

If we could get the OP to do just one HTF car a week. Think of the improvements to our roads

Hey guys! It will be awhile before I detail my car like this again! All day today I've been having muscle cramps in my hands. You should have seen my dumb ass today. My car club had a car show at hooters today and I was trying to eat wings with my finger curling up on their own!

And then it rained on my car! The droplets beaded up, but then dried and left a billion water spots. I got a kick out of the beaded up water on my drive home though when it started raining again. When I accelerated away from the green light, all of the water rolled up the hood and splashed the windshield.

Here is a pic of the motor that I cleaned earlier this week:

I used Mequiar's products for the wash, clay bar, polish, and wax. For the motor, I used S100 motorcycle cleaner.

Looks great. My first car was a 1969 Fastback with a six. I still have the 1970 Boss 302 I bought in college! I am into the German performance sedans now (C55 AMG) but I keep looking at the GTs.

There is nothing better than a fully detailed black car.

For about a half hour. :)

(I now stick to silver)

I have a Silver Mustang that I am going to detail when it cools off a little. I think I am going to use Klasse Sealant on it. Klasse lasts a long time and makes Silver look really good. I have found that Clay Barring and then Klasse make the paint just like glass. I love the look of Klasse on metallic colors. Your black Mustang looks killer. I love a fresh detailed car. Then when it rains and the water beads up. That gets me excited. LOL.
