Hey, we all gotta start somewhere. While I, too, am quick to criticize this novice`s "ignorance" about proper detailing techniques, unless someone with good detailing equipment, car-care products and techniques and/or methodology using them, demonstrates and teaches these to a novice, they will do the best they can with what they have and know, right or (mostly) wrong. This detailer is gaining valuable "experience", it just may not be "correct".
I make the analogy that detailing is like playing golf. You can have all the "professional" equipment and clothing to look like a golfer, but until you play golf and tee off on a golf course and tally the strokes, you are just a wannabe duffer. If golf were easy, everyone would be a "professional" golfer, but they are not. Same with detailing. It is NOT an easy skill (and it is a skill and an art-form) to master CORRECTLY. You can read all the posts in this forum, go to detailing seminars, even participate in some hands-on training, but until you do vehicle detailing over and over, experience takes time and repetition, AND even then, like golf, if the swing, club selection, and ball placement isn`t done correctly over-and-over, your golf score will indicate what kind of golfer you really are.
There are no handicap scores in detailing (Well Captain Obvious, ALL your detailing is a "handicap". HAHAHAHAH!!!)
That said, MAYBE in time this detailer will get better. Rather than pick on this person`s detailing prowess or lack thereof, it might be time for someone to "help" them and point them to this forum. I`ve said this before, but ALL you Autopians and your posts are my best and most important detailing "tool" to improving my detailing skills and knowledge and making my detailing hobby more enjoyable and productive, and for that I truly grateful.
