Karr actually has a nice to do list . I do every number but the wax and polish. I have my own dry vac and will be getting my own water compresser like at the carwashes and tire compresser so I wont have to air up my tires at the gas station anymore. Actually going to be cleaning my interior and vaccuming her out from the winter today.
Thank you. I love to detail cars. I have a nice air compressor I got from Murrays Auto Parts. It's for cars/SUV's. It was $20.

The air compressier we are lookin at is at menards for a hundred and so is the wash compresser . I love to detail my ride also just not with wax or polish or clay bar will ruin my paint job I had two yrs ago.

lol yea........ i guess you dont understand the mechanics of what happens to the surface of paint on a microscopic level..... after two years i will bet that ur paint has an @$$ load of contaminants as well as debris soaked into it... sorry but if you haven't used any wax or polish on it in two years you have prolly just wasted your money... unless it sat in a clean room for two years then i'd say YAY! but i doubt it did.... considering we havent seen pics of it in like what? 6 months? lol anyways idc its your paint so g/l with it

Hey its shiney enough for me and my shows and may use the wax at the carwashes from time to time and rainx stuff at the carwashes but thats good enough for me. There are pics of my ride in my gallery and they are recent . I will add more from time to time.

hey airwolf im sorry but i have to disagree with you. there is absolutely no automotive paint that i know of that doesnt need any waxing. maybe if you sprayed your car with rhinolining but it doesnt look that way to me. it may still look new to you but there are contaminants on your paint. just give her a good waxing once every 6-8 months and she will shine forever.

If you haven't even waxed it in two years , screw the wax that would just be covering that ****. Get a clay bar kit and spend a day clay baring it once and putting like 2 layers of wax on your car's paint.
