    Diesel, I really like your vids! Have you done one on how to properly wash car windows and glass? When I clean it you can still see where I’ve cleaned. I use vinegar and newspaper btw

    can someone outline the basic steps to detailing a car, including swirl mark removing? wash, clay bar, compound, polish and wax?
    i just get so confused with different brand offering things with different names… like auto body cleanser, glaze etc… not sure where things like that fit in… after polish or before… or what they do

    @eric2074 Yeah they just push the dirt and grit around the paint and make swirl marks. I use a lambs wool wash mitt its unbeatable as it lifts the dirt

    This is a real good video. Though all your detailing vids are great. But since I live in Miami and have no garage I just about always have to wash my car in the sun or I’d have to wait until the next day to polish and wax. Thanks for the info.

    Do you wash your windows first or wax the car first? After finishing the wax, and at night drive, I notice all my windows has streaks. Came back home started all over.

    If you final rinse the car with an open ended hose,as opposed to a spray,you will find that on a well waxed finish there will be very little water to remove,thus making drying much quicker and easier,impotant in the hot sun!
