Figure I would post them up. I swear to I made a post back in the day about this and I can’t find it. Now I don’t remember the dates so I figured i would just kind of post them up and you can see the progression over the years.

July 2003(2001 Stock MTX). Was 16 years old when I got it and in high school.

As most of you know I do a insane car wash. I am a huge guy in detailing and my work comes out what most people say “phenomenal”. People have been bidding lately asking how much I would charge for there cars. With this It took around 15 products(pic below). Here are the results and some of the pic’s I took of the steps.

Also when doing this. The bags are for so the rotors never to get that rusty look. The rotors are in fact painted as well in the middle to prevent that rust look. On top of it I just take that extra precaution. The rims itself get taken off one at a time to get a thoroughly clean as well. It gets 4 products just for the rim’s itself.

If you have any questions about detailing feel free to e-mail me. We have around 40 products easily around the house since each car has a different application I use.

Also got cam gears from Johnp on this deal. Figure I would post the pic’s up as well(Yes forgot to put the black piece on my 98 valve cover.
