Nick's Detailing

[Midnight11]

Alright first off, I'm not a professional by any means but I read and did my research on detailing before I started with my own car. Decided it was finally time to detail my 13. Almost a year old and never garage kept (damn you Gary) lol

Anyways first step was to wash the car, then clay, swirl remover, finishing glaze and wax. I tried to get pics of each step. I'll do this on the side if anyone is interested.

$80 bucks for swirl remover and wax
$120 for clay, swirl remover and wax

I use megauirs as well. I like the hotshine and the endurance gel.

[Ruger]

That looks great. I may let you do mine soon. It's white so it should be easier. Does your car come as a free loaner while you are detailing my car jk?

[re-rx7]

What do you do for interiors? This ot ass weather drys leather out really fast. If your leather is shiny people its time to clean it.

[GunsUp]

I'd be interested in learning how to do it properly. You should host a class one day for like 40-50 bucks.

Looks good Nic! I can attest it this is by no means a quick easy job. Lots involved with doing the correct paint correction / polish. I still have the passenger side of my car to finish and then I am going to hit mine with layers oz Zaino again.

[Dan12GT]

Nic I have really been considering the black fire stuff. Do you apply the protection and the wax in that order after doing the 2 step swirl remover from wolf gang?
