Default Nick's Detailing

Alright first off, I'm not a professional by any means but I read and did my research on detailing before I started with my own car. Decided it was finally time to detail my 13. Almost a year old and never garage kept (damn you Gary) lol

Anyways first step was to wash the car, then clay, swirl remover, finishing glaze and wax. I tried to get pics of each step. I'll do this on the side if anyone is interested.

$80 bucks for swirl remover and wax
$120 for clay, swirl remover and wax

Products


Clayed


Applying Swirl Remover



After Swirl Remover





Finished product. If anyone wants a second opinion just ask Gary. He will attest to how it looks in person.

That looks great. I may let you do mine soon. It's white so it should be easier. Does your car come as a free loaner while you are detailing my car jk?

What do you do for interiors? This ot ass weather drys leather out really fast. If your leather is shiny people its time to clean it.

I'd be interested in learning how to do it properly. You should host a class one day for like 40-50 bucks.
