I've always detailed my own cars, for the first time I paid someone to do my C7. Here are some pics for enjoyment!

Very nice car and detail and by the looks of your house I am sure you can afford the expense.

Funny you should start this...I absolutely HATE washing/detailing my C7Z. It is by far the most time consuming, difficult car EVER to keep clean. My C6Z was a breeze in comparison. So I typically hire a guy to come over to wash/detail the car. I even find wiping the damn thing down a PITA...LOL! Okay go on, let me have it!

It is a pain to clean a C7, but honestly washing our cars is almost therapy. I take a lot of joy and pride.

Hell the detailer kept conplimenting me on the cleanliness and condition of the paint.

Manuel, one of the best looking C7's I have seen. Well played in every way. And nothing better than having your car standing tall and shining like the SUN. Oh shxt, no SUN in Minnesota, just a bunch of White stuff

Cost was $150.

Thank you everyone for the compliments. Honestly, I love this car. Just looks good. Set up (to my eyes of course!) just right.

Yes, we owners in MN are definitely back in the white stuff again. I detailed mine before covering it and may need to have a therapy session again over the long weekend just to look at it.
