Hi from NY . This is my fiorst post this looks like an awesome site . Seems that there are a lot of very informed folks here . Im interested in detailing and learning how to keep my cars finish looking like new.
Best Regards,
Roy Kennedy
 
Thanks
There is a ton of info and products here . I have a honda piolot & a BMW they both have had the ziebart diamond gloss on them . The Bmw (My toy she doesnt drive ) has low miles and the paint is in real good shape . I was reading on the different methods for washing ect . I applied a coat of mothers wax over it . I thought it looked awesome until I saw some of the pictures here .

In my opinion no !!!! With the proper combination of pads,polishes,Machines and knowlege you can bring the finish to a level you will never acheive by hand !!!!!!

I'm in Long Island, Well the ultimate tool is a Rotary,But you can get great results with a Porter cable which is a random orbital.But it is not like those cheap units that they sell in the auto part stores. The other type is a a forced rotational like a Flex 3401 which is a random orbital with a forced rotation that gives you kind of the best of both worlds . Here is a good place to read up on alot about techniques and how to's Paintcare & Detailing - Enthusiasts guide to detailing
