Hardly a glorified car wash...its all about paint correction and protection. Theres more to it than just making a car "look" shiney.
Hence why I wouldn't smear silicon all over my car.

Those who slate detailing are those who don't fully understand how much thought and science there really is behind it. It's not surprising they fail to appreciate what they don't understand.

i dont use silicon mate but i would use it if required, i dont think people i drive past will look at me and say "oh no, he has cleaned his car with silicon"
Bucket? I use an old pigs bladder full of stale piss and a packet of brillo!

Thought and science? Last time I checked it was still called marketing and profit margin

Exactly the same as painting/repairs, i think detailing is a hell of a skill but requires so much patients and an exceptional eye for the smallest things
