I am new on this forum and been really excited about learning how real detailing works. Not just going to wal-mart and buying wax thinking your doing the right thing. haha. I have been learning as much as possible and this forum is a great place to do that. I have been waiting for the weather to be nice enough to pull my car out of winter storage. Everytime I have been home from school there has been snow on the ground, even in late april early may. Prolonging this detail much farther than i would have liked, none the less i had a lot of fun doing a correct spring detail and look forward to learning new tecniques and products to try. This is my first time posting on c&b, this is also my first real detail. I don't have a buffer (yet) so I did it by hand with a microfiber pad and a lot of elbow greese.
