TOGWT® Detailing Articles

[togwt]

{Knowledge Management} - Treating experience as a shared asset} Science meets Aesthetics; I contribute to these forums to pass on more than five decades of detailing experience along with three decades in the chemical industry to its members in not only the “How it works’ but “Why it works� and the chemicals involved with “What works “and in turn be educated by them. Because I’m passionate about I do and care about making sure detailing is a fun and rewarding experience for the enthusiast.



Automotive original equipment (OEM) technology is becoming more and more complex requiring educated and skilled technicians to work on them. As the materials used are constantly changing we must maintain our knowledge base and utilize the correct products and application methodologies to keep up with emerging technologies. It is very important to be able to recognise the various finishes and materials used as they all require different methodologies and products for proper care and maintenance.



The articles posted are extracts from a series of 150 in-depth technical articles that make up “The Art and Science of Detailing “a full list of which can be found on my Blog
