my girl just bought a brand new black car 5 minutes after you wash it its dirty. we live in NY so whenever youre bored you can stop by and clean the car for me so it stays nice and shiney like yours.

Thanks guys. Black isn't all that bad. I have the california dusty so I dust it everyday to keep it cleaner. I also use the FinishKare detailing spray because it helps with static problems after you just buff your car (using towel/MF will caust static because you're rubbing the paint). Not to mention, it makes my car slick as glass (really..it slippery and feels like glass).

Basically my car is a mirror on wheels. lol.

well done. You can't get that kind of shine without machines IMO.

what do you use to detail? The biggest thing that made the car shine was the dual action cleaner/polish. It gets rid of anything that is on the surface, but leaves a nice shine with the polish. Everything else is just icing on cake

Only the hood has swirls because I didn't polish it long enough. I figured if I do this again in 2 weeks or so, the swirls will go away slowly at a time.
