It's easy to detail a new car with no scratches yet but how did you do it in 90 minutes? That didn't include the wash right? I find myself taking at least 3 hrs to wash and wax my car. Add any kind of polishing, that's 45-60 mins alone.

Who said I didnt have scratches. I used FP2 on 3 diff areas (10 mins) wipe on and buff off. The 90 mins did include wash/tire/wheel treatment. FYI, to save time on the wash I used my blower to dry.

Oh Ya, can't forget the 2 cold 1's I had while on brake

I try to keep my black car pretty clean as well but I know the paint/clearcoat was in excellent shape before going through the winter. It takes a little bit more time now to get the same results. 3 spots and 10 mins is a walk in the park.

Some people have more time and experience than others. I think it's admirable that BadBoy took too the time to work on his cars paint - most consumers don't bother.

I no what ya mean. My Grand Prix (also black) took a beating through winter
but after 3 hours (larger car) she looked great. Here is a quick pic after winter.
