    Smile So whats the single biggest thing you have learned detailing this year??

    After detailing for many years I finally learned to use less product and I do not need to make as many passess. This has helped go faster and keep my sanity. I've also perfected going around trim and the badges without taping. How about you?

    I learnt to :

    - Use a rotary polisher properly and safely(with a rotary, everything is so fast its unbelievable!!! I can compound in like 2-3 passes!)

    - Wetsand and remove orange peel. (Thanks a lot to Mike for his great help!)

    - use less product(This is the ultimate thing!! When you cut down on literally everything, it all becomes so easy. Like thin sealant/wax layers = easy removal + less product wastage. Thin coat of tyre protectant = less slings, less product wastage and great finish on the sidewalls)

    - acknowledge the role of hand polishing in a detail!

    - mask the trim properly before a thorough compounding and polishing job.(+ sometimes I use a surgical mask to avoid M105 powder inhalation! )

    The single biggest lesson I've learned to date is, you never stop learning!!!
