Detailing resources I have found helpful

[akimel]

One of the great benefits to Meguiar's OnLine is that if one hangs out here long enough, asking questions and searching the archives, one really learns about the practice of detailing. I cannot speak too highly of the generosity and patience of Mike Phillips, Mark Kleis, Murr1525, Tim Lingor, and so many others. If one really wants to learn how to detail one's car, MOL is the place to begin.

But there are other resources available on the internet, and I thought it might be useful, especially to my fellow newbs, to mention those I have found most helpful:

PDF Handbooks:

Detailing World's Dual Action Polisher Guide

MikeyC's Detailing Handbook
(This is written especially for Honda S2000s, but it contains great stuff applicable to all cars.)

Videos:

How to Wash Your Car (ShowCar Style!)

Mike Phillip's on How to Clay Your Car

Meguiar's Jay Leno video on claying

How to Use a D/A Polisher

Pinnacle Series on Car Care
(These videos feature Pinnacle products, but it's easy to substitute appropriate products from Meguiar's. I really wish Meguiar's would produce a similar set of videos.)

DVDs:

How to Use the PC for Showcar Results
(This DVD may be ordered from ADS. It's worth every penny.)

These are some of the resources I have found helpful. I'm sure there are many others. Please add to my list.

Cheers,
