That's a nice frock on your body, but it is awfully dirty

and my thing. I really like this Mothers FX synwax spraywax stuff. It leaves me to believe the regular wax would be good too, but I need to get paid before I figure that out. Anyway, the car was losing its beading, so you can tell this stuff actually does have some good protection. It's applied like a quick detailer (probably because it is, pretty much, just a really good quick detailer). And the Rain Block is like Rain X, but the small bottle you see was 98 cents, a big bottle is 2.97. Reasonably good, don't know how durable it is.

It was a quick job. 2 hours total.

And some of it is residue.

And of course the one side hadn't been polished yet.

Let me list what was done on her car, lol:
Wash
wheels cleaned (I made her do that ahha)
polish w/ pinnacle advanced SMR and white pad by PC (that's what the side by side pictures are...and the up close one has product residue, but still some swirls)
meguiars ColorX w/ finishing pad by PC
Meguiars #16
black magic tire shine stuff. I don't really care for it but its easy to use
she did the interior, that's all she wanted to do was use my garage for that but I said I have to get that shitty film off the car, it looks poopy.
Sonus Total Eclipse on the interior plastic, BTW...
Stoners Invisible Glass

What wasn't done? Engine, clay bar outside, more agressive polish for deeper swirls, wheel wells, trunk, etc. It wasn't a full detail, I'm going to do that in a few months since doing it now would be stupid.

lmao....yeah....she didn't shampoo the carpets, just vacuum and all the plastic with the Sonus. At least the Sonus didn't give it a shine. She did a good job for not being a detailer.

I was more referring to the style and not the cleanliness. h:

I know, it's really bad. The upper dash where it's the soft touch plastic is actually pretty nice, but the lower part is hard plastic and horribly cheap. She wishes she could have gotten a Cobalt.
