Yes, seriously. Why is that a hard question? Look at the other Show 'n Shines or look at the same areas on other boards. The vast majority of people who post their work post their general process and the products or at least the LSP. It's not that hard to do. Takes an extra 1 minute maybe? IMO, people post their work to get praise from other board members. Giving the process/product info is the way to "give back" to the readers. If you're going to the trouble of posting your work on a detailing board (again, so you can receive praise), is it really too much to ask for you to tell the readers how you got the car to that point? Like budman3 said, most of the people here are more interested in the work that goes into the car, not the car itself.

I have to agree with mshu7 and budman. You turn out very nice details but to be honest I have been skipping them because you don't include your process. I can't speak for anyone else but I look at the Show 'n Shines and like to see how other detailers tackle a car. If that information isn't there the post is nothing more than pictures of a nicely detailed car.

, well I guess since so many people "skip" my postings, and Im only here to "get praises", then the posting of my details end here.

I dont get why I should go through the trouble of posting my products/processes when they will just get ## out. But oh well.

How to "tackle" a project? Follow the instructions on the product.
Is there really any other process besides wash, clay, polish, seal, and wax?

Here's the LSP I used, ## heres the interior cleaner ## , heres the QD, leather protectant, and engine dressing: ##

Understand now? I can fudge with the lettering so the forum wont catch it, but why cheat the forum and go around its rules?

Look man don't sweat it. Go ahead and keep posting your work. I understand that some of the products you use aren't liked around here which is why you don't list them but I still enjoy your posts. You always do some cool cars, in fact I think you should post more pictures. Specifically the interior, you don't show much of those.

I for one hope you don't decide to stop posting your work. You've made it clear your reasoning for posting as you do, and while I can understand why
some people would prefer more info, I would be less then honest if I didn't admit just looking at the photos is just fine for me.

Yes, I'm fully aware of the steps involved in a detail however there are an infinite number of combination possibilitites to complete these steps. That's what I meant by how each detailer "tackles" a car. I'll bet that no two posts under the Show N Shine section have the exact same process, meaning product, pads, machines, etc used and yet they all, for the most part have washed, clayed, polished, sealed and waxed to complete a detail. It's all of the variations of these products and tools used that proves useful to the readers of these posts.
