I think I actually remember the thread. You are very much in the 6 hour super detail team, and your car always looks amazing. Of course you are also an excellent photographer too, so that helps.

Then again, I'm not as caring toward how my car looks now vs how it runs.
If I have a free weekend and have a buddy alongside, then 4-5 hours go by pretty fast.  |
I am in your camp. My Yaris I might have washed twice in the decade I've owned it, and that was because of love bugs in Florida. Kaotic probably remembers some of my epic rants towards people who spent 5 or 6 hours cleaning and detailing their cars on Yarisworld. My car was just literally never ever dirty. I use to make fun of them a lot.
But here if it is not tree sap, which it almost always is, it is flower petals or just dirt and dust or bird droppings or some other disgusting thing I just cannot identify. It really is an entire different world. I don't really care what people think about how it looks, but I don't want to damage the paint job. Maybe it just means I need to save money and carbon fiber everything. Hmm, where can I find an extra $50k? I've received more compliments about this car since I've moved down here. Really funny stuff.
