.....and I really need to get my lazy ass out and do my own.
:) You missed a spot on the front window 1.3" down and 4.236" from the pasengers side. Other than that it looks "tip top".. :)
Now head North on I-15 to Vegas and get started on my wifes Yukon.. :crossx:

You are probably right, the drive to your place and back would probably take longer. :)

Thanks, my wifes car is two years old, and I think you need to charge more, at least if you are doing claybar on all those cars.

When you start to get crazy with the detailing you might want to check out this site:
www.griotsgarage.com
They have EVERYTHING for detailing, the garage and more. If nothing else get on their mailing list, every catalog has a different car featured on the cover. Anything from Enzos to hotrods.
I probably have over $1000 of his stuff sitting in my garage right now.

A little trick I learned is to armorall (or whatever you use) the shit out of the tires before you wash. I drown em then move the truck far enough to roll the tires 180deg and drench em again. Have a couple coolies while it soaks in and then wash the truck. I use the wash mitt on the wheels but not the tires, rinse it all off and when your done the tires have just the right amount of product on them and your wheels aren't all greasy. It works for me but then again I'm an idiot :rollside:
Good tip, I will have to try it. I usually don't use any Armorall because the dirt just seem to stick to it easier, I just wash the tires. I will try it my truck this morning.

Yesterday must have been the day for it then. Washed and detailed my Colorado 4 door then started in on wifes Passat. Got it all done and detailed except for wax which will happen here shortly. Should be worth a little sumpin' huh?

Hopeufully you will get something out of it. :) I just finished doing my Silverado, glad it is only extra cab short bed. I put one coat of wax on the whole truck and a second coat on the hood, roof and the bed rails.
