    Default Detailing

    My car is getting older, so do I. In the early years I washed it by hand quite often and gave it some coats of carnauba twice a year. But this requires too much time and effort nowadays. I only do the complete procedure (with a coat of wax) once a year. During the year I simply washed it with pressurized water mainly to keep the front and the wheel clean (5 min job).

    I've watched some detailing videos on youtube to get some inspiration what tools could faciliate the detailing process for the interior and exterior. And I also thought about a professional detailer but I still hesitate. What would you do?

    Did I imagine it, or did Mike (mjames75) also change career to professional detailing?

    There's an NSX-R on the website. Looks good.

    Regarding tools, I'll get a soft brush often seen in those detailing videos. What really looks cool but I'm not sure is mainly show are the showflake-like washing guns. Worth the money?

    He also has his own (NA2) NSX Type R, not the one in the photo.
