Looks good!

...but the idea of someone else detailing my car is kinda...perverse. Thats my quality time with my baby!

Its reads to me like:
"My buddy pleasured my wife! Heres the before and after pics! Look how happy she is!"

Unfortunatly Im not as good at detailing as my buddy so even when I try to get time to give her the attention she deserves I just cant match his work.

Wow incredible! I use adams and it doesn't look that good when I'm done.

It's actually the wheel. Not a cover. I have most of the stock parts however including the wheel

easier said than done my friend. I dont have a garage to put her into. so shes exposed to the elements, the only thing protecting her is her cover.

Mothers is the absolute ****! But i would never let anyone touch my rides...I let my girlfriend help buff off the wax on one of my vettes one time and later i noticed she left some wax spots on it....It about ended our relationship Good waxing and detailing is more than just looks(especially if you dont have a garage)Its protecting that expensive *** paint against weather and the streets...My girlfriend just doesnt understand the whole "protecting your investment" thing
