Decon wash? Help a newbie

I feel that some of the larger "surface" contaminants that are not removed prior to compounding or polishing are the same bits and pieces that finally break loose and leave pigtails

I never considered that, but it’s totally plausible.

Another thing, and I’m sure I’m not the only one but I’m kinda obsessed with ensuring the surface remains clean and free of debris/bugs/etc. while I’m polishing. You’ll see me constantly having to take 1 hand off the polisher to swat things away if/when I’m polishing outdoors. Lol.

I know that feeling well

I hate being cooped up in the garage polishing but if I open the garage doors I have to burn a PIC coil or the mosquitos drive me nuts during certain parts of the summer

Meanwhile I dream of having a garage to my own, where I can detail in peace away from direct sunlight, away from nosy neighbors, with the freedom to detail a vehicle at any time of the day or night, with a little fridge full of cold beverages.. Ahh, my dream.lol.

I guess it’s not always how you imagine? Lol.

Chilly, do you remember the garage netting that Richy had, to keep the mosquitos out? It's a thing, I can't remember where he got it, IIRC it had magnetic closures.

Wait, I found the thread, unfortunately the pictures don't work anymore and I'm not sure the link he posted points to the right place either: https://autogeekonline.net/threads/the-2nd-best-thing-ive-done-for-my-garage.83004/

I actually didn’t remember that but I appreciate the info

It would take a bit of engineer thinking but I’m up for that

They make kits, not that I'm recommending this one but there are others:
I didn't read that thread closely enough to see if Richy built his from scratch or with a kit.

I had to go out and run the garage door up to verify that an exterior mount like the one shown is the only logical way to do that

It would be nice to have the doors up and be able to see the world

It would have to be fairly easily removable for the other 8 months of the year because the wind would destroy it otherwise

So, do you get the "you can do mine next" or "you'll wash all the paint off that car" comments too? I like having the garage door open, but I often end up with someone disturbing my routine. I know you detail for a living, but 95% of the time it's my moment of peace and tranquility, I really have no interest in street/neighbourly gossip.
