Ok, so everyone on this forum enjoys detailing, and we all really enjoy the results. As I approach 50K miles this week, I just did a spring detail on my car, as I have for the past four years. In that time my MINI has been the only car I've driven. He's spent lots of time parked in the city, in an apartment parking garage, and at grad school (although I finally have a garage now). He's been driven in rain, snow, on dirt roads, and everywhere I've been. And yet, a good detailing regimen has kept him looking brand new! So if anyone ever questions any of us on the detailing obsession, here is some photographic evidence of why it's all worthwhile. Happy detailing!
