my car:










I wasn't dealing with a car that wasn't well waxed. Previously my car had Poorboys EX-P (synthetic resin sealant) and Blackfire (synthetic polymer sealant). You can see Blackfire loves to bead. I just wanted to see #16. The Blackfire was still slick and after 3 weeks or so, was slicker then the freshly applied #16. Not really an issue since I'm not entering the car into a concours event. The #16 will be very very durable and provide the protection I want, and it gives a really crisp/reflective shine.

Here's a few pictures I took before applying the #16. Notice darrr beads!!!






But not after NXT wash and a stream of water. This is a good trick. A final rinse without a nozel will sheet much of the water off. Saves time.

And this one...well...we spent 12 hours on it: There were a lot of chips we had to repair on the front of the car (touch up and wetsand, then buff out):

 

good lord those are shiny

 

damn, good job on the detail.

 

they are very shiny. great job folks. Just asking, what do you all charge for a wax job like that??

 

http://www.ddetail.com/low/pricing.html

For everything: $150 per car, $200 for SUV
Exterior only is $120 per car.

The 350Z was free (the owner let us have it for a show in exchange for a free detail).

The 3000GT VR-4 was $200. He got a steal--that included paint chip removal and the engine detailed. I have a chip-removal how to on Honda-acura.net. I didn't write it very well, and I don't really recommend it to people that haven't wet sanded at all before...but...it gives you a better idea of what we had to deal with on this car:

as you can see, they really didn't care about it. haha.

edit: thanks for all the good remarks. It's a lot of work--I appreciate it.
