Dave this site should have a sticky for detailing engines, interior, and exterior. It would be great!

Haulin- Listen to the man! That's not too long of a road trip to give your car a nice makeover. Your car would look like a new car to you. I would definitely do it, especially with all of the evidence that DP 08 GXP has provided of his work...which looks like it's excellent quality.

That turned out great DP! I hit my GXP with the PC and Adam's polishes this past weekend. Then I finished it off with two coats of americana. I do not have pics like yours but thank you again for turning me on to those products! This isn't a great pic but the clarity in the reflection of the paint is amazing.


...I also enjoyed Adam's In&Out Spray

exterior only would be around 5-6 hours depending on how bad it is...interior only takes maybe 2 hours so the rest of my time is spent on the outside

DP does it again!

I will say these pictures do not do the car justice. It shines a lot more in person and the engine bay is immaculate. It looks better than the day I bought it with only 13,000 miles on it.


Thanks again DP!
