AMEN! to the Walmart parking lot - 2 dings, and a moron that had to apparently kick their door open... enough to put a 12in long and 2in wide scuff on my metallic light blue passenger door : (

Do roll the windows down just enough to clean the top most part of the window glass. Roll it up and clean the rest.

Doesn't look good when the client rolls the window down the next day and see's an uncleaned portion of the glass.

Never park your car in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Walk there if you have to!

There are goofballs in EVERY parking lot! Just park as far away from others as possible on the high side of the lot if it is sloped. Works for me....not one door ding in 10 years!

Do not spray Wheel Brightener on wheels that are hot to the touch.

Good job Nick! So you remember/read that post I made a few years ago about not using WB on hot wheels!? Believe me, my lungs hurt after that one! I love the product as I use it all the time on vehicles that need that strong of a product. But with such a powerful product comes proper use and respect for the product. Use it correctly and it is one of the best products out there!

Always buy your supplies at sale prices. Someone always has a sale going on.

If you are going to buy a tub of Souveran, then wait for the Xmas BOGO.

obvious ones.
Don't use bleach or fabric softener with microfibers.
Do wheels first, then wash top to bottom.
Do the engine bay before washing.

A random cart floating around their lot is very rare.

big +1, but what does it have to do with detailing?

You will end up doing a lot more detailing (probably paint correction) if you do it.
