    I redeemed myself from last week's fail

    Last week I detailed my Mercedes E350 which was my very first time detailing (besides doing the here and there washes and quick waxes) which turned out to be a disaster. I thought I was ready after watching countless of videos and read all sorts of articles.

    It took me so long and I had gotten so frustrated that I didn't even finish and stopped with no waxing. The result was below.



    I posted my experience on this forum and I received tons of advice, encouragement and tips from board members and Mike Philips. So I took all of the info in and I ordered as Mike Phillips recommended the "Wolfgang 4" well actually I purchased the "Total Swirl Kit from Wolfgang" I was a little nervous doing the Uber stuff and plus the Kit price was very convincing.

    So this has been my work after yesterday, I took me about half the time this time as it was a lot in my technique as a member pointed out and most likely the Wolfgang products. It probably could be better but I think it will be my next time but for the second time I think I did pretty well. It drizzled a little bit but I think the pics show the results from the last week.

    Thanks to everybody for their insight, info and tips!

    Great job. Just remember to step back n take a breath when u get overwhelmed. Its only a car in the end and u can always just stop n come back to it. Its not the end of the world if u dont finish. Whats important is thatbu are always learning!
