My paint is silky smooth, no need for any fall out remover on there, but I look after my paint.

It's regularly washed, machined and highly waxed.


The whole detailing business gets on my wick. Everyone is a detailer, most wouldn't know their arse from their elbow.

The market is saturated with products, 85% of which are near identical to each other.

Most only ever see pics of work people do. He'll I could Photoshop a car to make it look new, I take all pictures with a pinch of salt.

So remember though I've colour sanded my car ;)

More like when people take photos down the wing and go "100% correction yeah!"



Looks great here doesn't it....




Well here's the door under actual light....



Why does it get on your wick jake?
I'm sure we've both seen the damage wannabe details have done, buffer trails from rushed dealership , burn throughs, etc..

The products are just end users who are daft enough to fall for fancy bottles or marketting spiel.

It's more the weekend warriors who as you say will pay stupid money for crap products. They give the car a wash and its been detailed. Detailing is American for valater lol.

I've yet to burn through a car. And I've done it for many years. With propper tuition anyone can do it.

Detailing = Car washing.. .but doing it really fastidiously.

In fact if i were to get into car washing... i would call my company "Fast-idious Car Washing"  :grin:
