Default Detailed the C5 (mom's car=mothers day present)

SO I have no money, but I have a ton of detaling supplies and the ability to detail a vehicle the right way. So I spent around 4 hours today detailing the interior and exterior of her car for her. Used all tropicare products on it. Wash, Claybar, Polished, and Waxed. She said it was the best present I could have given her so I guess it was a good idea (thanks to you guys for giving me the idea lol). Here are some pics.




It is getting new rims soon, I just don't know which ones my dad got her

haha thanks for the compliments, you guys would never guess how many miles are on that car! I was impressed with the condition that we got it in for that many miles and the deal that we got for it (if you want to call it that). Yes that is a C3 in the garage, it's in the process (very slow one) of a restoration. Also a 66 Chevelle SS 396 bored to a 402. We aren't rich by any means, my dad is just a budgeting mastermind, plus it also helps my rents out that I bought my car and pay for everything insurance, gas, ect. They've had the C3 since the day they got married!

Good job. Nice car. I did the same thing for my mom's mother day present today except I detailed her 05 tahoe. I got the idea from when people were giving you the ideas lol.

Looks great man.

Thanks for reminding me it's mothers day tomorrow. My wife and mom would have killed me if I forgot AGAIN. Looks like I'll be taking both to dinner tomorrow. Gotta find someone to watch my son now
