View Full Version : Just fully detailed. Don't want to drive:) rsagona1 07-29-2005, 03:51 PM I just finished about 2 hours worth of detailing. Washed, waxed, vacuumed, cleaned dash and in between the doors. Looks very good but it's Cosmos black and it's going to get dirty as soon as I pull it out of the driveway. Sometimes I think about painting it Alpine white. Anybody else have a hard time keeping Cosmos clean :) JaguarXJ6 07-29-2005, 04:03 PM Thats what quick detailers are for! :) Cover it when you're not using it. Quick detail it when its dusty with a high quality microfiber, folded into 4ths and using a clean side for every panel. I wash my anthracite finish once every 6-8 weeks, wax it once every 3-4 weeks. I drive it 20-25,000 miles a year too. You can keep it spotless but you need to be committed. Literally, not figuratively! :D Sunny rmani 07-29-2005, 04:11 PM don't drive in the rain that helps a lot. keep the car in a garage too. Otherwise yes cosmos and any shade of black is a bitch to keep clean. It's worth it though for how good it looks just after being detailed. :D cosmom3 07-31-2005, 01:42 AM Im doing my 8 hour detail on the 3rd....My only day off work. :) Im real excited. wash clay wash Pinnacle Souveran wax....mmmmmmm....So excited.

No lie, I swore that was a requirement when you got a black car. :stickoutt cosmom3 08-03-2005, 12:31 AM That takes you 8 hours? :confused I take my time :) Perfection and nothing less. uansari1 08-03-2005, 12:55 AM I think what he means that in that time, you should probably be able to do a couple passes with a good polish as well. JaguarXJ6 08-04-2005, 06:31 PM I take my time :) Perfection and nothing less. Then don't get a California duster. Its like dry mopping your paint's finish. If you want a perfect finish, the duster will N O T work for you. Sunny tEckniks 08-04-2005, 06:33 PM Detailing and no pics! jk Everytime I finish detailing my car, I love driving it around.
