    I totally agree with you on over thinking it. It's a bad habit of mine for sure right along with perfectionism. But what you said makes sense and it's what I'm going to do I'm just going to keep it simple.

    Prices?!?!

    I believe I have the tools to do great exterior and engine bay cleaning but as far as interior goes I'm pretty bare bones I get it really clean but I know I need to seriously improve so my interior detail as starting off will be very cheap since I am so novice at it. I'm not going to lie...

    Polishing surface gets hot!

    I'm using a firm orange polishing pad and I prime it like Mike says to in the book using a circle around the outside of the pad and with my finger cover the pad so that there isn't any dry spots. My next question once you make your six passes Mike mentions cleaning your pad by using a terry...

    Meguiars mirror glaze professional vs. higher end products

    I totally agree with you there as far as wax and sealants I think they could improve but as far as the product to get the best appearance from your paint meguiars has it. I've noticed myself lately leaning towards companies who've been in the business for many years like meguiars collinite and...
