New and Reading Forums

[angel500]

Hi all. I'm new to the forums. I've been doing a bit of reading trying to figure out cleaning, washing, polishing, and waxing. I've never had a "new car" before this one. And actually my Ford Five Hundred Limited had about 2,500 miles when I got her.

Fact is, I want to take care of this car and I'm totally clueless. {Imagine that. A clueless blonde!} My last car {a 95 Chevy Corsica} was lucky to get washed once or twice a year. :blush: I've learned a lot thus far reading through the many threads. I have to admit that at the same time it is all very confusing.

I doubt I'll have anything useful to add. I may have a few questions once I've read enough to even know where to begin with asking questions.

Oh. And when I was reading http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7536
the part that says Do you need an introduction to detailing? CLICK HERE to access Autopia Articles. That "CLICK HERE" link did not work for me. Has that been moved and does anyone know the correct url?

Before I forget, thanks to everyone for taking time to post here. I haven't found this much information about car care from anywhere else.
