Besides professional detailers, never let anyone wash your car, if you do at least demand they use a clean microfibre sponge and change the sudds in the bucket... and do one section then rinse the cloth before dipping in the bucket. Or just wash it yourself.


Detailed the headlights, before & after. used a drill bit polishing pad, some plastic polish.






Then went around the car gave a quick once over, because I wash it myself it rarely needs repolishing.

I agree with the OP, I don t even let the dealer do their free wash when it s in there ... LOL
One kid with a dirty towel can make a mess of your paint.

I asked the service advisor at my shop why my service invoice had "TFPO" on top in LARGE BOLD print? He answered with it stands for "No Wash Customer". I didn't think twice. Upon my return for my next service, I told the service rep I was a "TFPO" no wash customer. He laughed out loud!!! I didn't get the humor and explained to him that the last service adviser told me that was the code for no wash. He said ya that service advisor was fired, TFPO" stands for Typical F@&$ing Porsche Owner. He is now a service rep a KIA.
I love my Saturday therapy sessions cleaning me car.

Wow! Looks beautiful. Crazy how much those cars go for down there. We actually have a cool deal going on for Griot detailing products here if you're interested in trying some new products out for your next detail! Looks like you take wonderful care of your Pcar. Cheers.

Have you guys heard that polishing your headlights removes the UV coating that protects the plastic?
