This car hasn't been washed, vacuumed, anything since July (6 months!!) Started the car just before noon today, just buffed the last of the wax around 8:15! I didn't do a fantastic job with the pictures, still figuring out the best way to take them inside.

After pictures are immediately following the Before pictures. See for yourself.

Rear Quarter

Hood

Wheel

Paint Shot

Driver's Side:

Roof

Center Console

Interior

Window

I'm still trying to find the best ways to take pics inside the garage.

Front Wheel is cleaned, rear was sprayed down

Enjoy!

Yep, they are dark until you put a flash or direct light on them. They appear black otherwise.

maybe you should make one thread and just update it every time you do one, like a detailing journal instead of poisoning our gallery every time you wash a car

poisoning, nice word, but its a good idea, organize it a bit, its ashame it gets dark so early, but you won't have that problem come summer with taking pictures cause it will still be light out

I'm quite sure that there is no "poisioning" going on, there are TONS of useless threads doing that. I am simply contributing pictures of my work for others to see, there is nothing wrong with this. If a mod considers your idea fruitful, then I will consider it as well, however there is no need for the negativity. Thank you for your input, hopefully it will be weighted better elsewhere.

russiankid · 12-28-2008, 12:58 PM

My car better get its own thread, damn it!

Haha just kidding. Nick we can do Tuesday, already talked to my mom.

It's really not a bad idea to put it all in one place. If I made a new thread every time I put a stereo in something you'd probably think it cluttered things up a bit too. But I'll let the moderator team decide that.

You do a lot of stereos haha, I've posted 4 detailing threads total on this site, mostly posted a while apart. If I had 4 active threads all the time, then yeah it would clutter it, and I see your point. I'm not against it, I just don't see the need unless a mod recommends it and feels like merging the threads already made.

namdoogwerdna · 12-28-2008, 01:12 PM

Meh merging takes too much time. Carry on.

I will consider for future threads, to combine two cars in to one thread, to cut down on the clutter. It'll just be alot more pictures.
