Detailing noob...
On my last black car, I was never able to maintain the proper black paint, going through 10 dollar car wash...
With my M though, I want to be able to properly maintain and protect the paint. So I was thinking about making the investment to learn to wash and wax my own car. I am a complete noob and a little bit overwhelmed, intimidated by all these chemicals and machines... There seem to be endless products you can use.. What are the essential products? and steps? and do I need to do them every time I wash my car? wash? dry? clay? polish? seal? wax? Any information that might help will be greatly appreciated. thanks |

accordingi2ime, being you're in Los Angeles, call or email me and we can meet up to give you a brief education on car maintenance. I can show you what products to use, technique, etc.
