It feels good to do all that stuff to your car though doesn't it? The previous owner paid like $120 to have my car detailed a month before he sold it to me. When he got it back, there where streaks where they missed with the armorall, the wheels weren't what I would call clean by any means, and there was wax all over the black parts of the car, and in all the little grooves.

The first time I detailed it, I got rid of all that wax with a toothbrush, lol. I cleaned it up so nice, the car seemed new. It made me feel proud of my car. Then I put some duct tape on the back bumper to add a little power.
