Did a detail this past weekend. No before shots since the car wasnt dirty, just needed prepping for a car show. Its a badass car some of you might know from sunworks. Here are the best after pictures I could get since I finished at night time.

Nope, not scott lol

As for the products I use lots of different ones. But the main ones are optimum no rinse, chemical guys cwg, fk 425 quick detailer, duragloss aquawax, p21 100%, menzerna polishes, meguiars 105/205, p21 gel wheel cleaner. I usually use those on all my details.

I usually charge around $80 for a full detail which includes wash, clay, compound if needed, polish or finishing polish depending on condition, and layers of synthetic sealant and carnauba wax. Or a glaze depending on the color. Also clean things like wheel barrels, wheel wells, door jambs, interior upon request, etc... Takes about 6 hours for a Fit.
