    Gonzo, you`re washing technique seems excellent. Also make sure not to wash your wheel chenille mitt with the others. Laters

    I can only agree with what everyone else has said....definately no sponges for me, With a sponge, the dirt doesn`t have any place to go but against the paint. Go to Wall-Mart and pick up a Eurow washmitt.....I`ve heard a lot of good things about them on here, and they are readily available.

    New old timer

    Hi guys, my name is Tom and I jut detailed my first car in 10 years... an original paint 380 sl. I am hooked again and I think I am going to start offering detailing along with my stone, wood, stainless steel restoration business. I had a high end detail business in st. Louis for quite some time , but now live in Vail, Co. I unfortunately will most probably be doing it mobile (something I swore I would never do) out of my ambulance, which has a truck mount hard surface cleaner in it that pumps out 240 degree watter and 3000psi if I want it to. Just need to get a better compressor and I am in business. What the hell..I still love it after all these years.

    Welcome Tom and welcome back to the passion. Sounds like you got a great skill set. I love the sound of an ambulance as a mobile detail rig. Good luck and please feel wlecomed to ask anything here. This is a stellar group of pro`s, novices and amateurs and all are willing to share experience, opinions and sometimes just plain laughs. There are plenty of us "old timers" collected here as well!

    I like the screen name also, surfacedr.

    What color is the Mercedes?
