I have detailed my car before, several times. When I say detail, I usually wash, clay, polish and then wax. Pretty simple process. I lolly-gag a lot, but on average, it has taken me 2-3 hours...
I used to have a BMW, was a blast to detail. The paint was wonderful. Now I have a 2006Lexus that I have not detailed yet, so I am unsure as to how the paint is to work with.
I`ve been a lurker here for almost 3 years. There is so much information on here.
I will be getting a PC 7424 and a Makita 9227CY for my upcoming birthday in June. :dance I`ve used a cheapo rotary before, but am looking forward to "more professional" detailing tools.
I have used Meguiars polish before, but never the extent that you guys go to. I have also used Vanilla Moose polish and it has `done the job` before, but I think I want to try something else.
I love Pinnacle wax on black. It works like a dream. I am definitely open to others.
Basically, where do I start? The more I read, the more I get confused. I know everyone has their own process here, and the acronyms seem numerous, so much so that I had to print them out and reference them when reading posts... :scared:
Opinions? Suggestions?
I`m envious of the guy with the cabinet full of supplies, knowing exactly what to use and when....
