Call me a cynic (sp), but i dont see the point in detailing a car with 78 miles on the clock!

I often peruse detailingworld.co.uk, and believe me, theres a lot of SHOCKING paint jobs on brand new cars e.g. severe swirls, scratches from the delivery container etc.   I'm not saying that the Golf featured needed it, but I bet the finish out of the factory was nowhere near as good as that last photo:

See dont get me wrong i love cleaning my car as i used to be a valeter and now i paint for a living so i know exactly whatu mean about how AWFUL some of the new cars paint jobs are.

But please would some body explain to me the point in a entire website dedicated to people who clearly have nothing better to do than take picturesof start, middle, finish. Listing what products you use.

I remeber reading a thread from that very website this guy bought a Nurburgring Edition Astra in White and this guy was so sad that he asked for half hour alone with it when he was picking it up to go over it with a micrometre to check for paint blemishes and after that he got it home and set about photo graphing every square inch of it and taking off everybadge and doing a stupid amount of washing and polishing . . . . . . .

detailing's big money - most customers are too busy to do a good a job as a pro and happy to pay for a yearly going over

 :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:, now that is super shiny, ok its a new car but isnt that what people would like to achieve with an older car???.

Nothing wrong detailing a new car. Its not a pointless job, if you had that on your drive, you'd wanna be out cleaning it , trust me  :wink:
