    i would say i have about half that stuff for my car, and when i actually work on it, i use maybe lik 75% of it, because i don't strip and refinish every single time, but when I do, i usually spend a good 6 hours just on the paint alone,

    interior is a whole other story

    Some people like to detail their car fully and some don't. I'm one of those that do. I can literally spend a whole day on my car, from the interior to the exterior.

    Sounds about right, I know a guy who runs a local shop who will detail my car in full, including engine bay, for under $150.

    my G has been sitting on jackstands in my garage for the last 6 months.. so every time i get bored i go and put another coat of wax on it. well i finally took it out for the first time today in the last 6 months and DAMN, the thing was gleaming like a paintjob you would see on Overhaulin or something. I have an anti rain forcefield on my car, lol. theres got to be 12 or 13 coats on it.

    just wondering if you could ruin the paint by putting to many coats of wax on it? - doug
