10 things I learned my first time detailing.

Perfect!

And I agree, DP is under rated. Great line of products.

It feels like yesterday when I did my first one and learned so much every hour! Glad you made it out alive and there is truth to everything on your list.

Well I am a newbie! But so far, everything I've used from DP has been really good. I've REALLY been loving their waterless wash. The amount of dirt it removes without leaving a single scratch is amazing.

9 out of 10 first time commissions are probably undercharged!

This is great, and very true...I especially agree with the griots DA trying to use a 3 inch plate! (tried it two weeks ago) & agree with Chem guys hex pads..(thankfully amazon accepted the return) and bought new pads from AG

Unfortunately, I've used them! But I'm not impressed with them. They worked, but they soak up a lot of product and if you used a bit too much; you STILL made a mess. So I don't see any advantage to them whatsoever. Wish I had researched pads a little more and gotten the Hyrdo-Techs or similar everyone likes. And MAN are they a bear to clean.

This wasn't a professional job or anything. I have no desire to do it professionally. I do have a desire, however, to keep my car in great shape and looking great- so here I am!
