Currently I have not a clue in the world how to detailing currently I own a 2001 Ford F150 Lariat and a 1999 Cadillac Deville in which I am tired of paying people to do it for me. I`m currently work at a truck wash and I`m just looking for somewhere to start ranging from a pressure washer that`s somewhat cheap with a foam cannon to stages on how to detail down to wax and such. I mean even tutorials on how to use clay bars and such would be nice I don`t expect this to be cheap but I don`t expect it to be thousand of dollars.

Re: New so hello and I need a little help.
My advice is to buy nothing for now and do a whole bunch of reading, then come ask specific questions. I have a cabinet of stuff I purchased before I knew what I was doing. Its not rocket science.
You need to read, and this is the best place to educate yourself, mostly because the members here are very willing to help you get over and through the learning curve.Post Thanks / Like - 1 Likes, 0 Thanks, 0 Dislikes

Welcome! New guy here too. Do it yourself - it`s really enjoyable to get the work done, especially on your own rides.
