My $30.00 Dollar Detail Job
Actually NOT mine, But Mine to fix 
I got the call from one of my closest friends, the phone call started with a "Boy are you going to be Mad" that alone was enough for me to get all worried, I went and picked the car up, It's a Jaguar, Black, one of the special edition 400hp bla bla bla, My good friend decided to have the car detailed by a so called "Pro Detailer" TOTAL COST $30.00, This is exactly what happens when someone without a clue uses a high speed buffing machine, and the guy is a "Pro Detailer"
The steps that I used were
Pre Wash
Car Shampoo/ Oxidation Block
I tried many combination of pads but settled for Orange Pad and Black Pad, at times a yellow pad using our swirl remover
Pre Wax
Wax with Polycharger
Wash
One more coat of wax with Polycharger
Tire Gel

Even my close friends at times question our products and abilities, I dont do detail jobs thats why they go to others, the people I recommend wont touch a car for less than $400.00, It took me 10 solid hours of non stop work just for the outside, the inside will be done some other time.

few high schoolers do this around my neck of the woods for $30. I LOL'ed when the products they used included a water spiket, Ajack Dish Soap, a bathroom scrubber for the tires with oven cleaner, wash cloth and generic window cleaner.
