  • New to MOL

    Hi everyone,
    My name is Charlie and I'm new to MOL and car care. I usually would pay someone else to do the work, but now I want to learn how. I've already learned how to clay, but need tips on polishing and waxing.

    I currently live in Hemet, CA which is about 40 miles west of Palm Springs.

        Hi Charlie!

        Welcome to MOL!

        You'll have to visit Meguiars sometime for a detailing class!

        You will really learn a lot from MOL.

        Be sure to visit "Detailing 101" when you have any detailing related questions for us!

            I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

            I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
            Remove swirls my friends.

                  Thanks everyone. I did post in the detailing 101 forum with a question on the finish of my other vehicle - a black Ford F150 Crew Cab. I have some pics of my hood with some stains that I want to remove. I posted it last night, but the thread is not shown yet - due to approval.

                          Cool! Always great to see another brother with the same vehicle. Quite obvious you have good tastes in cars.

                            Thanks for the invite but the next weekend you have on your calendar is out for me. I'll keep your info handy. I have a buddy that I car pool with that might be interested in going, so I might hook up with him.
