very little knowledge about detailing a car. Dont even now what a clay bar or the buffer or even the right towels or mitt to use.
I know enough to wash my car but recently i did alot of searching and it seems I DONT REALLY KNOW HOW TO WASH A CAR CORRECTLY! lol it seems so hard to know what is right and what is wrong.

So I been thinking of searching for a detailing video and cant make up my mind which ones are good.

I need to ask you pros out there, what is a good detailing video for a step by step from the right tools to washing a car to moving on to buffing and waxing and polishing and etc.

How did you guys pick up your traits of car caring. My first ever car i own and i want to pamper her the right way. I dont have a mentor to show me these tricks so im hoping to learn off of you guys.

 

read these:

then come back to the forums with your questions..

p.s... follow these steps and you'll be fine:

1. Wash
2. Claybar
3. Polish
4. Wax

but read up on each step beforehand..

The only video I know of is the Griots Garage one, but I've heard its mediocre. I think most folks learn by reading, reading, reading. Autopia.org is an incredible resource. It's totally overwhelming at first, but just lurk around and read threads; if you have *specific* questions post a thread and I guarantee you'll get an answer. Detailing is way more a science than most people give it credit for. As always, feel free to PM me with specific questions (try to avoid "whats the bext wax" or "how do I make my car into a ferrari")

 

lol no i wouldnt ask those questions, waxes vary from peoples.

But i am planning on buying the zaino kit for 85 bucks. but before i did i just wanted to get a grip of the whole process of doing the right things to your car.

 

Very simple explination of each step along with step by step "how to" instructions with pictures here.

 

if you live near southern california you can signup for a meguiar's detail clinic.

They host it in Irvine, CA. If Mike Phillips is hosting it, he is extremely knowledgable and reputable.
