Oops, posted in the wrong section. Can a mod move this to detailing please, thank you!

Looks good. Nice job.

I wonder what it will look like in a few weeks or so.....

What's with those quasi-Greek columns on that house?

DougLikesBMW · 06-13-2010, 02:21 AM

Wow, you are damn good at what you do.

OBI_agent · 06-13-2010, 07:37 AM

Hey OP, good job

Can you tell me how much all this detailing cost?? I dont want you to say a exact cost but a estimate would do . Looks like a great job which demands high $$$.

Good Job but a dirty car is a pretty car. Plus, I would much rather drive it or do something else rather than waste hours together doing this.

Wont all of this be indistinguishable in a few days? Same brake dust, same soot.

Thanks! That's my parents' house lol, thin steel columns don't exactly look great, special styrofoam was ordered to cover them and then stucco was applied to match the house.

I think you're in the wrong section of the site then.

After a full detail, it's much easier to keep the car looking good, and takes much less time. It's when the car is completely neglected that hours must be spent getting it back to new shape. Besides, having the car detailed is a much cheaper alternative to buying a new car, but can still give you that new car feel when you look at it or get inside.
