auto detailing literature

it seems like most of the information we gain about auto detailing (and pretty much any other topic of interest) is obtained on the internet. i have nothing against the internet, it is definately a great and revolutionary resource. but there are times where staring at a screen for extended periods of time can get annoying. so yeah i was pretty much wondering if anyone can recommend any good literature about auto detailing?? its kind of nice to have something to read before i go to bed or while on a plane, and im getting sick of car magazines lol.

well a lot of the information i find is on message boards like these. i also like books. it just feels much more satisfying to me to open up a book rather than messing around with a whole bunch of papers.

I've been in the process of reformatting OCDetails.com for awhile now. One of the things I'm doing as I update the guides and articles is to format them in an ebook type format. That way you can just open the PDF and print it out in a nice to transport way. I'm definitely not saying my writing is the Bible of detailing, but if you like to read about other methods that have worked, then that is what I try to provide. They aren't exactly printer friendly in their current layout, so I'm trying to fix that.
