Hey guys,

So I took my car to a place called AlFalah Car Wash and Detailing, it's known to be the best place in Kuwait to wash your car, and fix any imperfections that it has. They really are amazing. I talked to them, and the manager explained to me that first they're gonna wash the car thoroughly, then clay the entire car, following by polishing the car. They're also gonna take care of the windows, and it should look brand new. It's gonna be done today at around 7:30 pm Kuwait time, which is 5 hours from now. I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as I pick it up. Again, thank you so much guys for all your help and your replies, I really appreciate it. If I sounded dumb when I didn't know anything about the clay, I apologize for that ;p. I never really worked with any of that equipment. So again, thank you.

Sounds like you found the right place. What are they charging you to do all that (if you don't mind my asking)?

iLLCoolZ, hopefully you won't need the claying for a while, but it really is easier than polishing or waxing the paint. The first time I used it was to remove overspray from a body shop on my car. It really is an amazing detal tool. I'm sure there's a lot of nice cars in Kuwait, and it sounds like your car is in good hands. I don't think your first option would have turned out well.

Washing the car all around, doing the claying and polishing, all cost about 90$, which I think is really really good. What do you guys think?

Hey Danger, I finally completed the car, and it looks great. The place I took my car to takes care of exotic cars and super cars, it's known for how well they take care of the really expensive cars.

I have posted pictures of the end result, and it looks awesome. I'm really happy with the end result. I honestly did not expect it to look as good it turned out, and I'm really grateful for that. I have posted a few pictures below. Please excuse the quality, as I took them with my iPhone 4, and the camera isn't very good, and it's grainy. Also, the room that the car was in is small, so I didn't have enough space to take good pictures. But this should give you and idea.

Thank you all so much for the help!

$90? Holy crap, I'm moving there. In the U.S. you'd pay at the very least double that, probably more like triple if they did a decent job polishing.

The thing is, Kuwait is a small country, and the competition is really high! So throughout the years, the prices kept going down as much more shops started to open. It's great if you ask me.
