Discuss washing, waxing and detailing information as well as interior/exterior cosmetic modifications. This includes neons, body, cosmetic wheels, etc. Even under the hood detailing.
Well, the nice weather is here now, and many of us want to get out and clean up our cars. The problem is that many don't really understand how to do some of the things that can really make a difference in how the car looks compared to just a normal quarter machine self wash places. So, I have been looking around and have found some good videos for all of you to check out. Feel free to ask any questions, and I will keep this updated as I find new videos, so keep checking back
Please speak up if these have helped you and also let me know if there is anything else you would want. If I can't find anything on what you want, I am sure that either myself or one of the other detail freaks here like me ( you know who you are ) could probably make a demo vid for it

Thank you
Exactly why I did this. I see a ton of people looking looking and asking how to do things so I figured this might help. Finding GOOD videos is a little hard though. When you get the rotary vid up, let me know and I will put in in there as well.

There is also a good series of videos (4 I think) around from the guys at Meguiars for rotary polishing and some wet sanding. They were like ten minutes each.

Some of the video links are now broken. Not that it's hard to find something similar or anything...

The videos Ryan posted taught me how to use a claybar, the PC polisher, and how to use the polishing and waxing products correctly. - BC
