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.

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.

How bout some basic tools of the trade? Wash mit and practices so I can avoid having to call you LOL! Jk
But really, the best way to maintain a perfect finish? I have a grit gaurd and such. I use wheel cleaner and a leaf blower. Let us know any other secrets?

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. |
