Hello from New York!!!

[idrift4wd]

hey i've been surfing Autopia for quite some time an finally ready to try out detailing myself. I've been a car enthusiast for most of my life but now i want to change it up. Instead of liking/loving cars i want to take care of them.

i was wondering i know there alot of thread for newbies such as I but I'd appreciate if anyone could lend me a hand with question i have. i've seen alot of newbies get pretty much told out to check the thread but im more of a lehmans terms type of guy. so if i can go to anyone with quick question that would be appreciated.

i drive a 03' Mazda Protege 5, but i plan to take car of my families cars also. Forester, wrx, v70, another protege.

um i just had a quick question

im looking at a used regular Milwaukee polisher but its not an orbital. price is 65 shipped, should i dish out the extra moola and get a UDM? can anyone recommend a cheap orbital polisher?

and for car washing. is there a thread to see what you guys use for washing. like what to wash the car with, dry it off, soap, mitt, foamgun etc etc etc
