I am also new to car detailing..... i am 26 years old. I never washed my vechiles more than once a year and never waxed. At the time I also used Dawn soap cause I didn't know any better. I now drive an old pickup that is paying the price.
We bought a new car for my wife and I didn't want to make the same mistakes again, so I started reading this site. Now a I am changed man,

BTW, my first car was an old escort that i bought from a bank repo lot. It had been through a flood so you can imagine what it was like. It also had 3 13" wheels and one 15" wheel with an even bigger tire on it. It was hard to look cool driving down the road with my car tilted awkwardly,
. Ahhhh, first cars......
