First time detail and pictures

Hi everyone, this is my 2006 being on the forum for the first time. I just got it detailed from ExclusiveAutoDetail yesterday. The guy's name is John, he came over to my house and worked. I highly recommend it for people who are lazy to detail their own cars!

Here are some before and after pictures.

Before:




After:

Very clean. I still have to do my bi-annual wash-clay-wax. Maybe this weekend if the weather cooperates.

I noticed the brush strokes on the carpet, very professional, do you know what process he used? btw; you should start detailing yourself, you not only save money but nothing feels better than putting in all that effort and seeing your vehicle gleam and shine in the sunlight, talk about a reward.

I wish I have the time and the energy to do my own detailing. I barely have time to wash it sometimes. Plus, everytime that I've tried to wax, something always go wrong.

The steps he used seemed pretty normal, nothing special. Wash, clay, polish, and seal.

$250 plus a travel fee. He drove about 50 miles one way to get to my house.

My paint was in pretty good condition, but I've never detailed it in the two years that I've owned it. That's why I wanted to get it done professionally.
