So I got my car back from Dallas last weekend and my Dad and I started cleaning/detailing my car.
Last night after we finished up, we totaled the numbers and figured we spent 12 man hours working on my car. First of all we washed the whole car with no-rinse car wash. I spent about 45 minutes cleaning the wheels while my Dad clayed the whole car.
The next two nights were spent using the orbital and working on getting swirls out of the car. We used Maguiar's 105 and then 205 compound on the paint/finish. Then we waxed the car using Maguiar's 2.0 wax and then cleaned the wheels again.
The car looks great, I am hoping to get some pictures up soon.
Does anyone have any recommendations about cleaning the engine bay? I found a guy who will clean it for $35. Does anyone degrease their own engine? Any risks involved with getting electrical systems screwed up?
Thanks.
