Hey guys,
I'm really new here and I think this site is awesome. I'm not only addicted to the prospect of detailing my new car (because of how great everybody's cars look in all the after pics), but I'm also addicted to this site because of all the product advice. I never knew that detailing could be anything more than water, soap, wheels, tires and wax. I'm hooked. I spent almost an entire week looking at the shopping cart I had created by scouring the forum for my idea of the best and/or most used products. The total price almost scared me off, but I finally gave in and I recently bought everything I think I needed and my credit card is going to be hurting for some time. My shipment should arrive before the weekend and I should be good to go this Saturday seeing as I live in Southern California.
I had two questions before I start my first detail. I just bought my BMW last weekend, and this weekend it is going to get its first wash and its (and my) first detail.
1. Being a used car, it has two door dings on the front passenger door and one dimple on the rear driver side. Paintless dent removal, or traditional auto repair? (Know anyone good in the Southern California Area?)
2. Any last minute advice? (I've been reading the site and the forums for two weeks now, but I was just wondering if there was anything I should know before I detail for the first time).
Thanks, and thanks for creating such a cool site.
