I do this every few months. I haven't done it since the prep for ScottFest but here are some pics of my detailing work.

Dirty door lips and trunk lips bug me for some reason. It just makes an otherwise clean car look shabby. Looks nice.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I've done the shine job on my car a few times, but the paint is so bad I don't get real encouraged to mess with it much. I do try and keep the door jambs clean and the sills wiped off. The exterior I don't even bother with past a quick wash job to get bird shit off it and to clean the brake dust off the wheels. Thats another of my peeves: grungy nasty wheels.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Very nice work. It's important to keep those areas clean to avoid rust. It's a pain to get wax in there, so I just buy that spray wax and wipe it on/off as best I can.Comment

nice, I wash mine twice a year. I pressure wash all the old grease and dirt out of the hinges and latches also then re-oil and grease them. Also wipe the door seals and rubber stoppers with silicone spray. My car is filthy right now tho.Chris - A 20th Century Man \m/ ^.^ \m/Comment

Nice!
Beautiful. Glad to see someone else take the time to wash the door, hood, and trunk jambs.
Anyone else apply multiple coats of polish to these areas besides me?Comment

Yep, I use a cleaning spray wax in all those places.Comment
