Detailing is the next level of valetting.... You basically mop the paint and return the car to better than show room finish..

 

and you do it ALL over the car, wheel arches the lot...

 

Ha right. I take it that is not something you can do yourself or?

The missus and I do it on our own cars and friends cars ever now and then. It is just a matter of sourcing the chemicals which is not overly difficult, and having practice with a random orbital polisher. It is more a matter of time and dedication than anything else.

You are welcome to come up one saturday when we do a car...and you can see the various bits and pieces... although I'm only a hobby detailer and not a pro like some of the people I've seen.

It isn't too hard, you wont get resulkts like that by hand though ! to see the imperfections you need flourescent lighting, looking at your paint under this light will make you :(

 

i have a porter cable polisher with the right mops and compounds to do the job and have achieved similar results on my old mans Astra i should be doing a friends Supra soon.
