New and Terrified

Just joined and I’m terrified!! :buffing: Sad to say but I’m a “wash and dry” guy and the only detailing "experience" I have is speed shining. Sad but true. But for some reason I am now on a mission to learn to detail my cars. I have purchased all the toys (flex orbital being my main cause of panic at the moment) and have read TONS of stuff on line – even for a new guy it was easy to find those who knew what they were doing. The video’s Autogeek (Mike) have done are fantastic. Its one thing to read but far different to see in done “live”. So a big thank you to Autogeek for all the information. For now, all the “stuff” remains in boxes until I get the garage floor painted – then the fun begins. My plan is to start with my wife’s DD (silver BMW X3) then move to the Basalt Black 911 then finally the Blue Murcielago. I'm terrifed of screwing up the paint on the latter two. One question for the pro’s here – is there anything special about the paint on any of these cars I should be aware of before I begin – like softness? I’ll attach a photo (not the best resolution) to show the colors.

Thanks – and I look forward to reading an learning as I go.

It is scary until you get confidense.
one of my tools is a heatgun that will go over 1100 degrees.
I am so afraid I will mess up someones interior even worse.
and a customer looking over my shoulder drives me nuts, here whats that? how do you use it? what does it cost. yadda yadda yadda. It got so I put my chemicals in other containers with labels only I can understand. now it's not colored bulldog, it's pro #1.
