These Videos Keep Pro Detailers in Business
I love the beach towel at the end: Why do I have swirls?

Re: These Videos Keep Pro Detailers in Business
Interesting recommendation to use a beach towel to dry your car. For some people this is perfectly okay because they're just working on a daily driver and don't really care about swirls, chances are good they don't know the difference between a swirl and a squirrel.
I'm a big fan of Beach Towels for detailing cars however but not to dry the car but to cover places you want to protect from splatter. A beach towel is typically long in length and this means it's long enough to completely cover the windshield, wiper arms, and any grill or plastic at the base of the windshield to prevent splatter from landing on any of these areas and then having to "detail" these areas later.
Beach Towel, a tool in my arsenal of of detailing supplies.

They can be used to clean interiors.
Also,
You can make good money detailing without a paint correction service.

Who on earth would let that guy touch their viper? From drying with a beach towel, to leaning his denim covered ass on the fender everything he did was risky to the paint. Someone needs to track him down and teach him about grit guards, proper wash mitts, waffle weave towels, and the new trend "thin is in" for applying lsp. O yea, and pull the wash tags off the mf.

I co-worker never waxed his truck (regular cab Ford Ranger) in the few years he has owned it. One weekend he decided he was going to and used a whole can, yes you read that right - a WHOLE CAN, of Turtle Wax Cleaner Wax on his truck. Not one panel at a time, the entire thing! It dried a few hours on the truck. He said it was like concrete when he tried to remove it.

I love how he goes through all that work and then proceeds to sit on the fender with his denim jeans that also probably have rivets scraping on the paint.
Notice though they call this "Car Cleaning 101" -- some people just don't know any better.
