    27 hours... damn. I used to detail cars and I could finish a mid size sedan in about 4 hours. That included the entire interior, exterior, engine bay and a complete paint and fabric protector.
    But I bet I would take a little longer if it were my own car.
    Looks really nice man

    A good detail usually takes me 8-10 hours. But this dark Subaru’s are a bastard to polish..... they simply "absorb" all of the polish compound!!!
    Moreover, after the polish I applied glaze, sealant, wax and QD
    Thanks,

    Damn. Well done... Don't let it sit outside in the sun to long though after a thorough job like that- A wax job like that needs time to harden in the shade.

    spectacular job!

    Very nice!

    Most delicious looking. I have gnarly swirl marks on my car even after a wax, any suggestions?

    Try to clay it and then polish and then wax.... all in the shade.

    Black is horrible. Took me 6 hrs to do the entire thing when I had it

    BTW.... nice job.

    I wish I had the patience to detail my car to that extent. Looks amazing.
