8 hours detailing today...help me doctor!

I just spent 8 hours detailing today.(with my favorite adult beverage). I wont go into all the details but it involved waxing all visible metal, lots of q tips, various micro-fiber towels for every application. Doctor.....am I sick? is this an obsession or love....hahahah

My car goes into the shop this week for stage III build and will be photographed for the shop's web site, a car mag, and maybe a TV commercial. So I had to do it. Gee am I tired but the car looks awsome!

Your not mad. But then again my family wonders why I wax/detail my car about every 3-4 weeks. I just step back and smile from ear to ear when my car is able to smile back or is that shine back.

I did that this weekend. Washed, sprayed with the Zaino spray, including the door jams and under the hood.

Yesterday I pulled off the right side wheels and did a thorough cleaning of the fenderwells, suspension parts, and the inside of the wheels. Left side will get done tonight.

I'm trying to decide whether to get floor stands or ramps so I can get under the car and clean the bottom. I wonder how long it would take to Zaino the undercarriage...

Dont forget to polish the heatshields and the exhaust system while you're down there.
