Anyone had their car 'Detailed'?

You're getting confused between detailing and cleaning.
Ironically I'm an obsessive detailer

If you can fit all your products in your washbucket, then it's definitely not detailing...

No, but I never said you could
I'm beginning to wonder if you are even old enough to drive?
24, been driving for long enough

Its a expensive game, so unless you plan to do your car(s) several times a year, buying the kit can prove to be well dear.
For example heres my kit list
Silverline orange Rotary - £35
Set of 3M pads 6" & 3" and backing plates - £75
Menzerna sample range of polishes - £30
Farecla range of cutting compounds - £40
Various grades of Clay - £30
Wax - £25
Microfibres from Costco - £14
Last touch liquid wax - £20
APC - £10
Chemical Guys wash - £20
Even with all that gear I can never get the car totally defect free, its totally showroom condition to the untrained eye, but under bright lights, especially on dark paints, you can see some V V V lightswirls. And I spend 2 to 3 days on a car, but that includes lots of tea and biscuit breaks,and it is the the car from top to bottom, totally overkill, but I quite enjoy getting a car from crap to brilliant!

I spent 4 days doing my black vectra. 2 days later I put it on its roof.
We then got a old Zafira. And I will give it a clean, a quick fly over with the SRP on a rotary and a couple of layers of wax, that takes the best part of a day, but it's not detailed by any means.

First time was http://www.miracledetail.co.uk/ (my Elise is on page 12 of the archive gallery)
the Boxster was done by a company in Slough I think, sorry can't remember the name
the Mini was done by a guy from Wales that was recommended on Detailing World forum, sorry can't remember his name.
This has probably been the least informative post I've ever made.

Where can I get that green brush from?
I have an old one very similar to that, which I would like to replace.
