    Re: "Polishing paint is polishing paint, detailing is getting the wax out of the cracks"

    Don't leave any of your own products behind!

    I've had the opportunity to attend several of Mike's classes. Besides the obvious "what to use" and "how to use it" stuff, I've picked up some really helpful hints simply by watching Mike's routine.

    I may be the only dope on the forum who doesn't do this, but before buffing, try opening the hood, lay a beach towel across the cowl and lower part of the windshield, then close the hood. Duh!
