Excellent Detailing Guide


http://www.autopia-carcare.com/how-to.html

It's where I learned most of my stuff. The site discusses how to detail the exterior, interior, wheels and tires, and "seasonal care."

Hope this is informative for you guys!

I used the same site this summer because I forgot exactly how claying is done but couldn't find anything on clay. I ended up walking away but other tips are just amazing on this site.

Would you happen to still know what that question was about claying? I use clay bars quite frequently every summer. Maybe I can answer your question?!?!

I got the answer long time ago but what I wanted to know was safe diameter to work on. I think it was 2 sq ft with the lubricator, of course wanted to know if there's such a thing called too much lube.

I do clay my car every year too, but memory wasn't playing with me at the time and I didn't want to scuff up my paint.

I'm forgetful sometimes and sometimes my foot slips and kicks some camaro guy in the ass

It's better to know what you're doing and there's nothing wrong with referencing what you do every year. It's not an old camaro or something, I like my car's original paint and don't want to destroy it.
