Click the link below and look at the pictures and read the article and then get a simple dual action polisher, a 5" backing plate, some thin foam pads and you can turn out just as good of work as any pro detailer with just a little practice.
Why? Because with todays tools, pads and abrasive technology it's just not that hard.
In fact, that's the name of the article....
It's not that hard...

So it's really not that hard to do plus you have all the nice people on this forum to help you.
I also have a DVD on the PC that shows everything you wand and need to know....

And my how-to book,
The Complete Guide to a Show Car Shine will also give you the head knowledge that will equal and even surpass what most people that have not read the book know about machine polishing. It's just as in-depth as any post I make to this forum. Like this one.
And to make it easy for you... click the below link and read the article including scrolling down the page as it's jam packed with info for newbies.
