Ack - how the hell did you get your car so clean?
I am pretty anal when it comes to my car/house.
More my car though since I seem to spend more
time in it.
I've been detailing cars since I was around 10.
My dad would let me watch him (he's even more
anal!) and then after awhile, he would "let" me
detail his car.
Typically it will take me about 3 hours to clean
my car (this doesn't include waxing). I'll do
everything from detailing the wheels (which
takes up to 45 minutes if they're really bad) to
cleaning the engine compartment. For the
interior, I will dust, vacuum, armor all, clean all
the glass and apply leather cleaner. This car
is much more difficult to clean then my last car
b/c the vinyl and leather meet in so many
places. I clean the leather last so if I get any
armor all on any leather, I can get it off pretty
easily.
After going for a drive, I'll use McGuire's Quick
Detail Spray to get off any bug marks and
excess wheel detailer from the paint.
I detailed my friends Mercedes two weeks ago
and it was a complete mess before I got to it.
Her wheels were black and the brake dust
could'nt be taken out with normal washing.
I had to use Mothers to clean them. It came
out nice though. . .
Sorry for the long winded description.
