>Anon! Your car looks dirty! When was the last time u clayed and waxed it??
>>14442126
last year
Never.
Dirtiness is a sign of honor, and shows my car gets used. Got waxed 6 months ago, and I let the rain wash the mud off.
Why should I care what some Neanderthal-looking bitch thinks about my truck?
>>14442138
>Neanderthal-looking bitch
id still fuck her
What does h/o/mos think about detailing?
>>14442126
Shut up, bitch. I'll bet money you don't wax your car either.
>>14442208
Her job is to wax her vajayjay. Yours to wax your car.
>>14442126
>I've never spoken to a woman
>>14442138
It's a sign of being a lazy shithead and can't be bothered to take care of expensive assets.

What do you mean?
People who have pride of ownership and see value in quality of work like to detail regardless of their cars worth. I enjoy it because I like keeping things I own clean. Washing and waxing keeps your paint in good condition. Same with cleaning and conditioning your interior. Especially if its plastic and rubber shit.
>>14442126
>implying girls know what claybar is
>>14442259
I came here to say this. Literally no girl would ever ask you when the last time you used a claybar on your car.
>>14442126
>Anon! Your car looks dirty! When was the last time u clayed and waxed it??

What products you use for plastic and rubber parts?
>>14442126
Did you just call me anon? You must be retarded.
>>14442126
The last time you shut your whore mouth.
>never
>>14442183
Glorified car washes. Another niche made to jew idiots from their shekels.
Don't believe me? Just have a look at the average "detailing" fan.
Scum. Retarded, mentally handicapped scum.
>>14442258
Overvaluing plastic and metal. People are retarded.

It's like $50 a year worth of product for a single car.. A good detail will make a car look brand new.
>>14442564
Post your car
anyone have that video of the dudes at a detail shop spraying down the inside of a car thinking thats the right way to clean it?
>>14442564
>le just metal and plastic
so is a 747..
you just have a weak work ethic and no pride in craftsmanship. detailing is an essential part of keeping a car in good shape. your front yard probably looks like shit too right?
you dont have to go full autistic and buy $1000 worth of shit. ~$150 initial investment is enough for a da, polish, compound, wax, and some microfibers.
I personally don't like cleaning or detailing my motorcycles or car beyond preventing rust from salt or degreasing parts that shouldn't be covered in grease or grime.
It takes forever and I'd rather have someone else do it. I don't particularly give a shit about things being shiny and super clean unless it's for a show or something.
>>14442620
Would like to see this also
>>14442126
When i bought it, im not washing the salt off of it just to have to wash it monday after they re-salt the roads.
fuck.
>>14442239
>expensive
My car only cost me 500 with a new clutch, just needed to be installed and got it done in an afternoon. so fuck your statement anon.

>detailing is an essential part of keeping a car in good shape.
Maybe on the surface, but it doesnt do anything functional yo the car.
Keeping a dd in showroom state just means you have too much time and money on your hands, or have ocd.
I don't wax my car, but I do wash it monthly.
I hose it off occasionally, does that count?
Never.
>>14442126
I've never washed my car and there are some weird black spots and some layer is peeling off. There are also rust spots.
>huurr i spray petrol products to maek plastic and tires shiny
>youre just washing im detailing hur watch me grind this compound into my clearcoat
Yup. Just about sums up auto detailing.
Fucking janitors thinking they're some kind of craftsman or surgeon.
I don't think a claybar would work to well on my primer
>working at new shop that doesn't have a detail department
>has a guy that comes around but sometimes you are supposed to clean up a car you worked on if a customer is getting it and detail guy can't make it over
>have to "detail" a car
>hose it down
>see chamois, I know they are used for drying cars
>try to use it like a towel, doesn't work
>coworker comes over, "you know those are supposed to be wet right?"
>just blast the car off with air instead
>go over to read the labels on all the spray bottles
>take an hour to clean the car
>looks mildly better than when I started
And they never asked me to do it again for some reason.
>>14442126
2 weeks ago. It's too damn cold to wash and wax it.
how to deal with fucking brake dust that literally covers wheels within a week? It's on the stock pads
>>14445021
I used simple green in my pressure washer. I have to drag it out to clean off other stuff anyways, so tried it on the car with good results.
>>14442126
>cleaning and waxing
>clear coat peeling off all over the top of the car
>some sections are only base coat
Why would I try removing my security system?
>>14445021
better brake pads
could also try a sealant designed specifically for wheels. They'll still look dirty as fuck but at least it'll be easier to clean
>>14442556
>this
I cannot for the life of me find a decent detail shop. I really want a few scratches removed and swirl marks gone but I don't trust any retards locally at all.
>Early November approaches
>Spray on fluid film everywhere
>Winter shitstorm and sand/salt assault
>Don't clean car all winter because it just results in frozen door locks and the same old shit the next day
>Spring comes
>Spray that shit off
>Detail the car and enjoy clean car until November
>>14445021
Use ceramic or semi-metallic brake pads. Also don't tail people half a bumper width away all the time and you won't have to lay into your brakes as often.
>>14442126
>implying women know what clay and wax is
check'em
>>14445021
Metallic brake pads. OEM is usually metallic but maybe your manufacturer doesn't do that.
And maybe you're just exaggerating. In which case get over it or get different coloured wheels
>>14445757

>>14445776
it's pretty bad, but okay maybe not a week but like 2-3 weeks and it's pretty bad. I'm seriously considering cleaning the fuck out of them off the car and plasti dipping it black in my garage
>Clay and Wax my Rust
Bitch please.
>>14445798
Focus or fiesta st?
>>14445823
focus st
>>14445866
Neato. Always thought those were cool, but liked the lighter weight of the fiesta more.
>>14445798
plastidipped wheels look like garbage desu senpai
>>14442126
Right before winter started and I'll wash it again when winter is over
>>14446048

Clayed and waxed two months ago, wash it once every one or two weeks and spray some liquid wax on it.
>>14446058

>still using clay bars in 2016
>not using superior nanoskin clay towels
I just did a full strip wash, clay, Wolfgang sealer, and PS2 Carnuba wax. I try to do this 3-4 times a year depending on the weather. Usually quick wash and light detail twice a month.
>>14442126
literally never bitch

>>14446357
I drive a 2010 range rover hse but NEVER had shit like this happen to me. It's not even a fucking cumstained 'used' car. My dad drove it for a year, maybe two and gave it to me. It's always clean, the interior is chemically washed once a year, last year bought fucking new floormats. Nobody smoked in the car, I take meticulous anal care of ze speshul leather AND STILL DIDNT HAVE MY DICK SUCKED IT.
>>14446662
Maybe it's just you. I drive a 95 impala and take great care of it and had sexy fun time in it with some girl I met in a starbucks within a few days of buying it.
>>14446752
maybe it is me and maybe it is
>>14446357
I literally added car cleaning sprays to my buy list now
>>14446768
lol
Does my filth bother you?
All seriousness though, I gave it a full detail, clay bar, buff n wax back in August and a beemer driver actually got mad that a Jeep was shinier then his M3
>>14446114
This gave me a panic attack. Oh god.
>>14442183
Can't be bothered doing it for the most part. I do the bare minimum to preserve the paint and finishings, but that's about it.
Yeah clean and car is not in my vocabulary, I take my Swede shitbox to the mud and that's its bath
>>14446908
A work horse car like that shouldn't look super shiny anyway.
>>14446908
The dirt is holding it together.
>>14446048
Shits weak.
>>14446806
Its well known fact that grils like clean and shiny stuff. So remember to keep ur apartment / House also clean.
>>14446357
lol women are pathetic
>>14442126
Never.
>>14444859
ok poor guy with a shitbox. whatever helps you sleep at night.
>>14443568
the surface is a major part of holding it's value
the interior stays healthy. seats dont wear as much trim doesnt wear as much when they are clean and conditioned.
leaks are easier to see, car easier to work on, more likely to work on a clean car.
it's just basic ownership. sorry your shit parents didn't instill any ethics in you. and im sorry that you're posting on a enthusiast board yet obviously dont care about cars.
>>14442183
it can do more harm than good
over time they are wearing out what they clean
>>14447375
literally wrong.
you'd have to compound your car like 100 times to get through the clear.
that's 100 years worth of compound.
>>14447393
its not like a modern car has 13 kgs of paint on it
I've got a classic car, the paint doesn't have a clear coat, what kind of detailing can I still do, because polishing will fuck it up, right?
>>14442126
your cunt is dirty and unwaxed too. Back off bitch!
>>14447461
are you positive it doesn't have a clear coat? some old cars do and most old cars have been resprayed. my 71 for instance, even though it's still original color was resprayed in the 90s with a 2 stage.
if youre sure its single stage then you can still do everything you do with 2 stage.
you just need to take special care. use the least aggressive products.
paint transfer is normal with single stage paints even while waxing.
you can have it paint corrected and polished at a detail shop if you dont want to risk it or invest in the products.
they will measure the paint depth to make sure it's fine.
as far as everything else, just like a clear coat. you can clay it, wash it, and wax it all the same.
just use non-aggressive products.
months ago and it hasnt moved since
>>14442126
The only time a bitch worries about washing a car is when she can put on a bikini and slut it up for attention. Unless of course she's fat.
>>14447327

The average cost of a car here is like $1400, and that's inflated massively from the two guys that own good cars

and even then proper maintenance would be in order. you think a neckbeard weeaboo would be cool with you touching his precious plastic waifu with your cheeto fingers?
>>14448942
who's mentioning figures you fag? nice projections pal
