Adam, lemme know when you want to borrow the PC, we can get together for a bit and I'll share my meagre knowledge, then you can take it for a few days if you need to. I'm out of town Fri afternoon til probably late Sat night, but maybe Sunday or sometime next week is good. Kids are going to Grandma's tomorrow for a week and eventually Mrs. Swivel will get tired of me chasing her around the house and kick me out.

Regarding detailing, I just read a decent article on it this morning on Canadian Driver.

Guys just thought I would mention, I purchased some Ricardos Clay from eshine a while back because it was highly recomended by Picus (Kevin). I just used it today on my new FX and it seemed to work very well, I found it more pliable and easier to work with than my Zaino Z18 Clay Bar. Next I give her a few coats of Zaino Z2 Sealant.
If you have not tried the plastic bag test on a car you should do it and you will be a believer in clay bars.
Place your hand in a thin plastic bag and rub the surface of your freshly cleaned car. It will feel gritty almost like sandpaper (even on a new vehicle).
Next clay bar a section and do the same thing with the bag after you do that section . The plastic bag will slide over the finish and feel glassy smooth.
It is amazing, it gets all the contaminants from your paint. Just give it a coat of your favourite wax or sealant afterwords (unless your car is plagued with swirls and scratches), and you are good to go.

The order has been placed as of this morning, Almost a month late now but it's on! Wayne1, your Wheelwax and opt no rinse are ordered, wayne2, I did forget your opt no rinse! Sorry. I realized after I got off the phone and after the credit card confirmation.
I'm sure if you ask nicely wayne1 will let you try some of his!
