let`s see......

[*]When you are going to use your orbital, and the pad you`re about to use is dry, mist on a little detail spray - regardless of what compound you`re going to apply. This will reduce friction, scratching and pad wear before the material distributes itself around the pad.
[*]When you use leather creme, apply it with your bare hands. You can better work it into the seams and crevices, and your hands will feel great afterwards!
[*]When you clean your glass, use horizontal strokes on the outside, and vertical ones on the inside. Later, when you `re suddenly in the right light and notice any streaks, you`ll know which side they`re on. (Can`t take credit for this - learned it from a fellow autopian.)
[*]When you use swirl mark removers or FI-II, or for that matter any product that is likely to include diminishing abrasives, work it and work it and work it! In my experience, it takes the PC on 6, plus pressure (reduce over time) plus time - more than you think. The difference is very noticeable - especially on black.
[*]Keep a cheap 2" paint brush in your car - does a great job of getting dust out of hard-to-reach corners.
[*]Keep a MF towel and a little bottle of detail spray in the car too. If you ever come back to find bird poop on the car, get it off immediately.
[*]Before you use ANY new product, ask about it HERE!
[*]Towels, Water Blades, Dusters do not scratch paint.<font color=red> Dirt you move with them does.!</font> Your goal should always be "maximum benefit with minimal wiping", whether it is washing, drying or buffing. However you must know that the "boundary layer" phenomenon means you can not get all the dirt off in the first place without rubbing with something. A pressure wash only leaves a thinner layer of dirt - it doesn`t remove it completely.
