I did my car yesterday - 12 hours (inside & out & engine & wheels).
Jeremy's car today - 7 hours (outside & engine).
I'm toast.
I don't know how OctaneGuy can do this day after day.

Chuck I still think you should put on a clinic, at MITM. Did you use a orbiter or by hand? What was your process if you don't mind. I did some polishing then waxing last night when I got home from work all by hand. I keep wanting to buy a orbiter. Was just wandering how ya'll did it.

we washed the car, then clayed it, then did trim w/ black wow by hand, and i did some minor interior stuff, then polished by orbiter, then amigo by orbiter, then epic wax by orbiter, let it sit for a few mins and wiped it down.

it looks REALLY good!

Another one "Chucked" by Chuck. That does look sweet, rich depth in the black.

I love black cars just for the way they look so deep. That's why I own a Sparkling Silver. I just never have the time. My FJ Cruiser was black, but it was alot of work. The SS color is so easy to maintain. It really looks clean even when its dirty. But you and Chuck did a great job. (I gotta buy a orbiter) See ya at MITM
