[QUOTE="Pyro, post: 43727, member: 1313"] Thanks for all the kind words everyone! it's really looking great and with the amazing weather we've had lately, i've been getting a lot more looks and compliments from other drivers :coolgleam: As far as tips go, i did't get any for the actual polishing part but the general upkeep a few points that seem obvious now but i'm glad i learned was to use quality micro fibre towels and professional products (not the canadian tire ones) one place he recommended to get good microfibre towels and professional products was at [url=http://www.eshine.ca]eShine Canada[/url]. Also remove the tags from micro fibre towels to avoid the tags potentially making some very fine micro scratches while you're using it on the car and applying pressure. One thing i learned that was neat was that when the car is wet, if the water beads up then there is wax on that part of the car but if a part of the car gets wet and the water sheets and kinda stays together rather than bead up it means that part of the car no longer had wax and the paint/clearcoat is being exposed to the elements unprotected! He also recommends carrying a microfibre towel and a bottle of some "waterless" wash product in the car in case those pesky birds decide to use your car for target practice. Other than that, once the car is detailed, regular maintenance with your standard 2 bucket wash, quick detail spray and generous applications of wax will help keep the car looking great. Of course there is no better prevention and maintenance than to just be careful and alert around the car to avoid maybe a zipper from a bag hitting the car or any other absent minded mishaps. Also we can't control how other people behave around our cars...i'm sure all of us do this already, but be mindful of where you park and let the passing admirers know that like your wife they can look but they can't touch :rofl: [/QUOTE]
