Default 9 Hour Detail

So today I spent 9 hours with my girlfriend detailing my car.

Cleaned the engine bay
The carpet was pretty bad so I took out the front seats and the middle tray from the armrest til the cup holder.
I scrub those parts down and shampooed the carpets.
Cleaned the Seats
Then I cleaned all the vynal and inside glass.
Washed it
Polished the headlights (took off year of haze)
Back to blacked
Tire Shine
Pre Wax Cleaned
Clay Barred
Swirl Remover
Carnauba
All the glass

My car has never been so clean since I've owned it. I don't drink myself but I found plenty of bear bottle caps. Kind of funny. It makes it feel like a new car. I ended up not even taking it out to the drive in tonight. I left it in the garage and took the accord instead. I'm gonna have to drive it tomorrow and Im kind of pissed about it... haha pics to follow in the morning

No offense, but i find that near impossible. No...it IS impossible. Ive taken 2 hrs just on one step, let alone 7. Either youre full of it, or you didnt properly break down the polish at which point its like wiping your car with sandpaper.
