So I Washed It!

[Flatrate]

So last weekend I hand washed my daily driver and hit it my favorite topper, thats it! I've been in the detailing game for almost 30 years. Many times for a living, not so much in the last decade. I do a few customer cars a year upon request and yeah I can make some decent cash, but really don't want it. I just want to hang out in the garage, drink beer, and smile! Detailing is one of my two passions, the other is cooking... Just wondering what this auto forum thinks... I think I still got it.

My daily is a 2015 Chrysler 200S I bought new 08/01/15 so had it almost 9 years. Honestly I think the pictures church it up a bit!

Wish mine was that shiny. My black car is just one big swirl mark, and scratches from the cats and squirrels that like to climb on it.

Even with that distasteful "M" sticker that "Indiana Crimson" car looks great.

My girlfriend drives this daily so I let her put a personal touch on it I don't do sports!

Absolutely gorgous! Looks WET! I had a friend who had one of those 200's with the 3.6 - OMG that was a rocket!

Love the color.

How much would you charge for a full detail like you did in your photos ?

It's hard to say, depends on the condition of the vehicle. This one is pretty easy since its been in my care since new, its only been lightly polished three times in its life just to clean and jewel the paint. When I did this detail last year products and labor about $1,100. Took me about 10 hours of actual work with curing times in between.

Here is a list of my process and products used.
Foam Cannon and Bucket Wash- Meguiar's Hyper Wash D110
Wheels Cleaned- Gyeon Iron Wheel Cleaner
Tires Cleaned- Meguiar's Non Acid Wheel & Tire D143
Wheel Wells- Meguiar's APC D101

As I said this day I just did a basic wash and topper, I only redo it every couple years to freshen it up. As long as you properly maintain it, it will stay looking good!
