First, I've been away from the detail-o-holics type forums for a while as I focused on building my own (non-detailing) biz and working a reg job on top of that. It's sooo nice to be back and poking around looking at pics in the extreme makeovers, etc.
I just got into an online argument with someone in regards to buffers and the detail biz in general (the fact that too many people calling themselves pros because they made up a business name and they use buffers wrong causing much damage, etc). It lead to a deeper discussion on detailing, where in I was giving my own steps (wash-two bucket, clay, clean, polish, wax-basically) that I follow and products I use. This is where I am now questioning myself, since I haven't put much thought into products in a while (I found what works for me, and I use it often-at least in agreeable weather, lol!). First-DC1 (Deep Crystal step one) is not abrasive, correct? I could swear I recall it is chemical only. Second-why wax after polishing. The basic is-polish feeds, wax protects. Right? Third-car shampoo/wash is really just a lubricant, it doesn't have an actual chemical effect on dirt. Am I correct here? My brain is just a pile of duh lately and having not focused on detailing how tos and whys isn't helping me!
I missed this guy, he's my fav color!!
