I feel embarrassed that I don't spend half the time taking care of mine like you did yours.

I'm now inspired.

I'm humbled by this video. Mr. slickooz could make a Louisiana mudbogger shine like a diamond neckless on a hollywood movie star.

Amazing dude.

Keep it up. Thanks for the video.

Now we all know why detailing costs $$

Let alone opti-coating.

Not to resurrect, I just saw this video a couple days ago and now its been slapped with the copyright ban hammer. Sucks because I wanted to see it again today. Maybe upload on vimeo or somewhere?

Hey I hope you are still around the forums so you can read this, how can I get rid of those very fine little lines /scratches that can only be seen with the sun light hitting the car?

Thanks in advance !

Dunno if you're still actively around the site Jouki, but I was just exploring areas of the site I'd yet ventured to, saw this thread, watched the OP video and had no issues...

For a polish and opti-coat anywhere from 6-12 hours depending on paint condition.
