Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: cali Posts: 1,445 | Detailing is very complex hobby/occupation for most Autopians. When you ask for advice, you will get much more information if you ask questions about specific tasks. Have fun and travel all around the State of Autopia, you might get all of the info just by reading all of the available posts. When you have a direct question I'm sure people will answer it. The process is what you should learn about first, wash,dry,clay,polish,cleaner,sealants, waxes, and quick detailers are things that will empty ya wallet and make your car prettier than the next guys. Than consider how involved you want to get, do you want to learn about polishing which will take a minimul investment of about $200 (polisher, pads, polish). Or do you want easy products that make your cars look good, easy to use, easy to layer, etc. Read the review section and learn about products. Do searches when you find something your interested in and here what others are saying about your choices. Welcome again and have fun. | |

You know, of course, that it is a Jeep Liberty, not a Dodge. Or, is it a Chrysler? No wait, is it Daimler? Wait, what is a Daimler?
No, it is still a Jeep.
We'll be standing by for your specific questions...
Jim

Davetriz; I, too, am new to Autopia. While I have been washing and waxing cars for many years I have just taken to serious detailing. As I approach retirement, I am seriously considering starting a detailing business..........although there may not be the market for it to be profitable, I would enjoy doing it anyway. Now to the point....look in Page 2 of my post in the Brag section and see the job I did on my daughter's dark blue Jeep Liberty. Thanks to buick_guy1 for posting the pictures for me.

I am new here Too, and can tell you that I have done
hours and hours of reading on this site. The best way to gain
the info is the "search" button on the home page. I can't wait
to get started but the weather won't let yet!!! I got $350.00
in products ( including 7336 and pads). I am praying for Warm
weather. | |
