Detailing Articles: What Would You Like to See?
I'm in the middle of writing an article about orange peel (how it's created and how to correct it), and it got me thinking about what articles the forum might like to see written? Anything relating to detailing that you don't have a clear understanding of at the moment and that could use deeper clarification.

Beside orange peel, what would be interesting to write about is how one can get rid of haze, and swirl marks after a person done with detailing.

While this sounds asinine... there shouldn't be haze or swirl marks after detailing. Detailing is what you do to remove haze and swirls. If you are seeing these after a "detail" then something is very wrong.

i think a huge one that never gets overlooked is dilution ratios. eclipsis should be able to write a good one since he uses alot of cg products.

I'd personally like a basic how to properly wash your car guide. Since alot of those exist but some of them contradict each other. I know alot of us live in the city where we don't have access to a garage and always just use a car wash but eventually we may gain access to one and then would like to know how to properly wash/detail the car.
Just my 2cents. |
