I detailed my car yesterday... Other than the rock chips and the nasty dings and dents, everything else got removed and went pretty well.

My basic equipments:

Clayed the car, very dirty (even after the wash):

The entire car done with clay, polish, and wax... took about 4 hours....

I'm still a beginner, haven't even touched a rotary buffer yet. The one I have is only a "polisher", way slower in speed than the rotary buffer.

If you want to partner, I will move to HK and do it wink.gif Though I was reading those HK car magazines and I saw there are A LOT of these types of shops in HK, and they don't charge as expensive as here in Los Angeles... you prolly want to move here to LA instead and help me open the shop hahaha...

looks good mate, wish i had a porter cable polisher. anyone want to buy me one and post it to me in the uk?
dang, someone needs to move around here n open a shop, id go there!! the best we have around here are places that simply wash & wax, short of going full blown to a body shop n dropping several hundred theres noone that does this type of service
