Well, after a year of neglect (meaning no wax), I finally decided to pay a detail shop to have it done. They used the Collinite wax and I was very pleased when it was delivered (they pick the car up and drop it off). It's color was popping and the paint actually looked brighter. What a shine! :cool:
These are the results:

| Thanks. A group of people from my work were admiring it that day. Some even decided to get there car detailed as well. Funny... he has a Mo too. |

purty!
The first thing I did when I bought my Mo; used; was have it fully detailed.
the wax,buff,detail made it look like it was brand new.
Fortunately my Mo is garaged and rests in a parking deck at work so the only real damage being done is while driving. |

Not a problem if they came back with yours. I was thinking about the upgrade to the 06 anyways. :D
Seriously, it is nice to have your car picked up looking like crap and delivered looking showroom clean....that is until you fork over the cash. But, for me it was worth it. I also had them wax the rims - they are much easier to keep clean now.

How much did it cost, if you don't mind? I've been thinking of a full detail job and would like a ballpark figure.
Also, did this include interior detailing? |

| Wowza! That is a beautiful shine you have there. I ended up going to Collinite wax website, and found that there are no distributers here in Kansas. Bummer. |

| I bought my Collinite off of the Web. I found a merchant and just placed the order and it showed up on my Doorstep about a week later. I cannot remember who it was from but it may have been directly from the manufacturer. |

Dang, I missed this post earlier and just got a look-see at those photos. Did I say Dang! Looks great and reminds me that I need to shine mine up.

Well, needless to say, since I was so impressed with biggun's results, I found an online dealer via Amazon. I placed my order last night for Collinite #845 last night (after reading some other members fantastic results using it). I thought I would never say this (after remembering the horror of waxing the parents car for spending money back in the ol' days), but I can't wait to wax my car :) |

The cost was $180 and included wash, wax, interior shampoo and dressing. Most importantly, it included the waxed rims and wheel dressing. I don't no how they did it without taking off the wheels, but the rims were clean enough to eat off of on the inside portions.
The only thing I emphasized on to the detailer was DO NOT TOUCH THE SCREEN OR CLUSTER PANEL. I didn't want them to scratch them (which is very easy to do). Once they are scratched, they look like crap. He got the point. |

| Wow. Awsome. Not at all bad for $180! |
