    Yes I wash all my cars myself because I'm very picky. Only time I don't is if I'm too busy. Then I pay for a detail.

    I actually enjoy doing it as I find it stress relieving.

    Yes i'v always washed all of my own. I feel it's done better & with more care. Plus you don't know what cloths they might use, leaving swirls all over & I enjoy doing it too.

    I was myself & then every so many months or so have a pro detailer friend do all the extra stuff that I don't know how to do with all the pro tools & everything.

    Same here, I always wash my cars and for some reason, it takes me a good three hours....

    Since I have had Ceramic Pro applied to the Cayenne, I can get through that in an hour and a half though if I had a better blower, I am sure I could cut a good amount of time off. Swirls are a distant past.

    I decided I am going to have the new H Spyder completely wrapped in XPel Ultimate and a Gold Package (or more) of Ceramic Pro applied to the top of that. Easy cleaning at that point and not the worry of swirls, etc.

    I not only wash my own car (I wouldn't trust anyone else to wash any of our cars), I do full details on my cars, and my driving buddys' cars! Here's a link to my post regarding my first full detail on the Huracan:

    Finally did my first detail....


    I recently did a 50+ hour detail on a friend's Superleggera:

    A special Gallardo Superleggera...


    Ceramic Pro is supposed to be amazing. With amazingly little effort, though, you can apply a ceramic/silica nanocoating yourself (after proper paint preparation, of course), and get phenomenal results!
