Sorry, no before photos as I always forget to take them. Imagine Jet Black, daily driver, last detailed in November, and went through several indiana snow storms. Yeah, it wasn't the greatest... but now it's fixed!

Looks stunning! How much time total did you spend 'fixing' it?

I think I spent about 9 hours to wash-clay-polish-wax and touch up all the details. I even polished and wax the door jams! Just a few little annoying things left, but I'll wait to do those before the next car show.

Interior gets hit tomorrow; estimate 3 hours on it. And black out my belt line.

Yep, 9 hours is about what I spend on the big detailing jobs. It's work but a labor of love, for sure.

Looks GREAT, Darkness... we expect nothing less from you, of course.
