Hi I am new to the board and detailing

Hello everybody my name is Adee and I'm from Los Angeles, I drive a Honda Prelude and got addicted to detailing

Here's a couple of pictures of cars I've "detailed"

that's my car, it's been a week or 2 after I've detailed my car in that picture, I claybarred the whole car and then used Meguiar's Step 1 or maybe I used a Paint Cleaner I don't remember :/ And then I used Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze, I applied it 2x cause I did it on seperate days and then finished off Gold Class Wax

And here's my friend's Civic, with that car I used a Claybar cause it has a lot of Oxydation on the paint, 3M Swirl Remover for Darker Cars on hood and trunk, Glaze and Gold Wax

Recently I just purchased a Porter Cable 7427, a better Polish/Sealant (I Hope) Klasse All in One, Menzena Polisher and Pinnacle Paste Glaz for my white car

If I had a darker car I would've gone for the Souveran. Well that's all for now

And hey, Autopians, he's coming here pre-addicted to the expensive ya-can-only-get-'em-online supplies, so we won't have to twist his arm so hard.

to Autopia OUCH!

I'd comment on the cars, but I don't see them...

Heheh thanks everybody, yeah I love detailing my car, I used to pay 50 bucks at the Local Carwash play to get someone to "wax" my car, found out later all they did was use Cleaner Wax thats why my car wasn't as shiney... So I bought the Meguiars 3 step, I was happy with it but not quite cause I had some ruff area on the car, and thats when I learned about Claybar

And after I learned about Claybar thought to myself hey there must be something better out there than the Meguiars I am using... And the rest is history

I'm hoping to start a business since I really like detailing cars, it relaxes me so thought might as well make money from it.. So far I've worked on 3 cars and have 2 jobs coming, not getting paid much though

Does anybody know a Pro Detailer in LA I could work for part time
