For a while I enjoyed looking at the 50/50 shots of leather interiors, and swirl removal, but now those are all the same. Even if it is a Ferrari or a Lambo, I never see those in real life anyway...
Now, clearly I do not have a "professional" eye, and I`m sure most of you can tell the difference in a compressed JPEG file between Zaino and Optimum... But I can`t.
At this point after a few months of viewing these things, I am more interested in the processes involved in fixing specific issues with paint or interiors. Maybe a paint transfer on the bumper, or a particularly bad section of an interior.
To sum up what I`ve learned.
1. Detailing cars, in the capacity needed to satisfy 95%(maybe more) of car owners in the world, is exceptionally easy.
2. Taking pictures that emphasize how well you know how to wipe on and wipe off a product, is also exceptionally easy. (ie, sun before, shade after)
3. Product selection is preference, almost all of them work if you read the directions on the bottle. (I say this because it no longer matters to me what products are used in the C&B, as they all look the same "to me" once finished).
4. People are short on time, and aren`t necessarily willing to use their limited time if they are not guaranteed something in return.
Again, from my newbie perspective, given 3-4 months of interest in detailing cars and detailing forums.
