What makes me chuckle about sooooooo muuuuuuuch concern about THE CORRECT tools and procedures to keep these cars looking showroom good, why do the guys most vociferous in this detailing debate DRIVE their cars?

When you drive the car you certainly must do alot of damage to it; e.g. dust, dirt, dings, stone chips, UV exposure, acid rain, airborne contaminants.

What's funny is when you trade the car in be sure to tell the dealer your car has been constantly and meticulously detailed with ONLY the most proper tools and techniques; THAT should increase your trade in value by about us$300 (three hundred). The new owner will be sure to keep up the program of extreme maintanence, not.

Disclaimer: I'm not indicting anybody in particular. I'm saying: read about the pros and cons of tools and techniques once or twice and then just take reasonable care of your car.
