Default Appreciating Nice Curves

Nice curves....

As a car guy, I could be talking about twisty roads - I'm not.

As a guy, I could be talking about a woman - I'm not.

I'm talking about the curves of my car. I didn't truly appreciate the lines of my car until I hand washed it the first time. Wow, it's got some nicely detailed and crisp body lines.

To me, there is just something great about detailing a car - connecting with the metal and turning out a car that really shines and looks beautiful.

Yeah bro, I'm with ya! I'm a detail freak w/ my IS350.

Hand wash about once a week, quick detail spray about 1 once a week, and wax about once a month.

I absolutley love waxing my car the most, as you go over every single line and curve, and buff with a soft plush microfiber towel. It does truly make you appreciate your car all the more

lets refrain from using the word 'detail' too much, lotta guys think that cuz they can wash a car = they know how to 'detail'/because they washed their car = detail, no
