Internet Resources for Newbs
One of the great benefits to Meguiar's OnLine is that if one hangs out here long enough, asking questions and searching the archives, one really learns a lot about the craft of detailing. I cannot speak too highly of the generosity and patience of Mike Phillips, Mark Kleis, Mat (Murr1525), Rasky, Tim Lingor, and so many others. If one really wants to learn how to detail one's car, MOL is the place to be.
But there are other resources available on the internet, and I thought it might be useful, especially to my fellow newbs, to collect those I have found most helpful: PDF Handbooks: Detailing World's Dual Action Polisher Guide Detailing World's Rotary Polisher Guide MikeyC's S2000 Detailing Handbook Articles: Guide to Detailing by David Bynon Good Washing Technique How to Use a Claybar How to Choose and Apply Wax or Sealant Protection How to Clean the Engine Bay How to Clean the Wheels and Wheel Well Wheel and Arch Tutorial How to Maintain Your Car's Finish In-between Polishing Sessions Meguiar's Online List O' Links Polished Bliss Guides to Detailing Videos: How to Wash Your Car (ShowCar Style!) Mike Phillip's on How to Clay Your Car Jay Leno video on claying How to Tape Your Car (Part 1) How to Tape Your Car (Part 2) How to Use a D/A Polisher Pinnacle Series on Car Care DVDs: How to Use the PC for Showcar Results These are some of the resources I have found helpful. I'm sure there are many others. Are there internet resources you would like me to add to my list? Cheers, Al (Updated 21 January 2009)
