Hello (in Cherokee)

I thought I knew how to "detail" a car before I came here I have a 2000 Civic and live in NM. I have a Makita buffer (brand new), but after reading through some of the threads I'll just wait on using that and learn with a PC. I'm glad I stumbled in here. Here is a pic. of my car. Any NM people out there?

Thanks! There is definitely a lot to learn when it comes to properly detailing a car. What has suprised me the most are all of the different combinations people have for different color cars

silver color! a balance of black and white.

Black = more reflections, defects immediately apparent
White = soft reflections, strong resistance to swirls and defects.

Good Luck!
