I went out to the garage to get a screw driver, and somehow ended up detaling my car.

Not what I planned for today but happy with the results!





I had done a full detail in May so this time around I used M105/M205 only on a few scratches and marks that I had. Then Chemicals Guys Extreme EZ glaze -> Blackfire Wet diamond -> Collinte 845.

What do you think of my new air hose hanger?

Perhaps you meant sites driver the drink. How many did you have to lose track of time like that?

Nice work though. The car looks beautiful!

I have them everywhere! That one is bent and cracked so it became an expensive hose reel.

I have one cracked on the car now, and a refinished one in the box ready to replace it...

Man its strange how that works.. I went to the garage to grab a box fan and ended up tackling a radiator swap in the e46. Your car looks great! I need some tips to get my escalade looking like that.

LOL I had 2 cracked 190's I wish I would have just saved them for that amazing hose reel instead of trashing them.

I basically followed the guide from Detailed Image.
http://www.detailedimage.com/Auto-Detailing-Guide/

When I got the car in April I did two full days and detailed, compounded, polished the whole thing. I'm really careful about washing it and parking it, but it still gets light scratches. This time around, almost 6 months later, I just worked out the scratches that seemed to be new and then glazed, sealed, and waxed.

The one that I hung up was destroyed. I wouldn't trust it. I am going to repair the cracked one I have now and keep it as a spare.
