    How to properly wash your car

    Introduction For the 1st time, my detailing project (away from the cars I work on at work) isn't a Vauxhall. This time, a VW Bora TDI PD 100 SE in Magic Black. Since it was supplied new by my local VW dealer in January 2004 it has covered 89,500 miles as a company car (Checking the log book...


    I normally take my time to wash both my cars, but not to the extent Stewie did, check it out and

        Wouldn't it have been cheaper and faster to build a new car in his garage starting from raw materials?

          Can you say obssessive compulsive?

          Funny cause under his name it says PC Perfectionist.
          I would say perfectionist through and through.

          The car was clean enough for me before he even started.

                the funny thing is he did all that detailing then took it down a dirt road to take pictures of it.

                  And what he didn't mention was that after those uncounted hours of painstaking detailing (that nobody but him noticed), is that 2 days later he totaled the car.

                    Just when he had finished the photo session, a pigeon flew overhead...

                    Definitely OCD.

                    I wonder how much he spent on products and hours of his time and kWh of energy!

                          Yeah, before I sold the Bimmer I did a similar transformation. Under $100 spent, and a total of about 4 hours. But I did the whole works - swirl-remover, buffing machine, etc.

                          I'm sure the guys at "Dr. Detail" can do what I did in an hour for less overhead since they do it all day.
                          The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and teenage girls are FBI agents!

                          I'm the least you could do
                          If only life were as easy as you
                          I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
                          If only life were as easy as you
                          I would still get screwed

                            Yeak but this guy said he spent Sundays and part Saturdays plus the odd evening, weather permitting, over, I think 4 months. I checked on just one of the products he used (a wax) and it worked out at €180 ($250) for a 200 g pot! OCD and more money (and time) than sense!

                              If that's true, it makes the story all that more amazing.
                              I mean I hope the guys OK and all, but that's awesome.
