New to detailing

[chachi94]

hello everyone. Am very new to car detailing and to forums. Main reason i made account is to get tips on working a 2012 Nissan altima coupe 2.5.. Black paint... lots of swirls... and couple of scratches.

Wash and clay your car.

Well you'll need a da. Lots of choices what's your price range? For compounds and polish I hear menzerna is good and I just bought it

You will need to do a IPA wipe down (carpro magic eraser)

Then you can add a coating. (Opti coat) (c-quarts) or (black pinnacle)

Didn't know what you're looking for but I would buy mikes books (auto detailing 101) theres a lot of great info on here too!

If you need anything just ask

Brian......whoa Buddy

He said he was new to detailing and you are blasting him with DA, IPA and telling him to jumping right into coatings?

If you can't spell it "c-quarts" and have never used it...why suggest it to a Beginner

Sorry there's no dash and a z instead of an s. "Sarcastic voice" when did I say I haven't used it? And he's gonna have to buy that stuff some time so I don't think that's "blasting"

A big part of public speaking or conversing on a Forum is knowing your audience

The OP said he was a beginner. You are throwing around acronyms that you should know might be confusing to someone just starting out

I understand that you are excited to share the knowledge that you have

Have you used a CQuartz coating? Which one?

Why is he "gonna have to buy that stuff sometime"?

Well he's going to have to buy some kind of compound or polish bc he's aid he said he had swirl marks. And as you know after you do that you need to do the rest of the steps.

he is also going to have to buy a da because he asked on another thread bc he posted about it and I know you know bc you commented on it.

Look on the top shelf to the left

Good link. Lots of good info.

These are great to work with. The only recommendation from me is to get some applicator pads and don't forget to clay after you wash.

Here's another good thread on working by hand.

There's no point of having this discussion . But ever since you found out I was young it seems like you think I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm just trying to help people out like others have before to me.

You didn't have to tell me you were young, I already knew that


I understand that you are trying to help, but you tend to speak in absolutes, which can lead people down the wrong path

You can burn paint with a DA; people have been doing it for decades


I don't view any of your photos because you are too lazy to upload them properly and use thumbnails
