I didn't read through it word for word, but it seemed pretty accurate compared to a lot of 'detailing' articles out there that aren't associated with the known detailing places.



However....Glass (Once a month)...?

Nah, how about Glass (Everyday)? Glass (Every Few Hours)? Anyone?

Interesting tidbits:
- Squeegie drying is advocated
- Less is more? Not so much:

- A barbecue skewer wrapped with a towel is advocated to apply sealant to hard to reach places.
- Autogeek and Autopia are referenced in the article.
- Spend only $200 on all supplies needed? Yea right lol.

I can admit I clean my glass almost once a day

First time of my hearing of nanoskin. Which should I or kit should I get?

I like the idea of not using normal clay considering how.much of a pain and dropping it

If you're just doing your own cars take a look at the Nanoskin sponge--it's only $13 and comes in two levels of aggressiveness.

Here's a link to the kit that includes both: http://http://www.autogeek.net/nanoskin-speedy-prep-sponge-combo.html

I don't think that's too bad of an article for those outside of our little universe. As previously mentioned, i don't like the advice to blade dry with a "silicone blade squeegee" but if that's the only thing i can't really agree with it's not bad. I also don't agree with the recommended frequencies (monthly) but i understand this article is targeted at the car enthusiast but not a detail enthusiast. I think we all agree that the average non detailer doesn't do those things nearly as often as suggested in the article.

Glass: Twice a day.

Once in the morning - before heading to work.

Once early evening - before heading home.

No clean windshield, no drive/ride.

Cannot imagine being so anal as to clean my windshield every day.... twice a day?! Not in this lifetime.....

Every time I wash (of course) my car.... and depending on the season, maybe once or twice a week..... (DD outside 24/7)
