Keep your cars long enough, and it`s not even about having them look nice, it`s a critical part of ongoing maintenance. The A8 is getting a seal replaced as I post this, over a tiny leak that I spotted while doing the undercarriage...same ol` same ol`, once again my Tech said how it`s great that I catch such stuff before it gets serious.
Meanwhile, a pal in the Jag Club who kinda about my undercarriage detailing had to replace his car over a rusted-out subframe *that his Tech had to tell him about*. He`d been driving around in a decently detailed (by others) car that was unsafe to drive. Whole vehicle`s junk, a literal write-off because he neglected it and they`re not building those any more (Lincoln LS V8).
Shiny paint and swirlmarks don`t *really* matter unless you care about such stuff, and yeah I do. But IMO "Detailing" is a lot more than that.
