Re: What to Get to detail it right:

Thanks HemiETR...

After seeing how my Titan Brothers love their rides I thought I'd share years worth of experience to help make it easier for them to have a detailed ride without needing a chiropractor afterwards. Products that work without casing damage along with proper application and ease of use.

I see so many of my friends that love their rides wash them from the bottom up...I'm ready to ask them why they're wetsanding and hacking the crap out of the paint...

People need to be careful with clearcoat...It's like a lens to the paint...When you fog it up with scratches you have to get extreme with a buffer. Paint is only so thick you know. Resort to light buffing maybe once every 2 years and right before you sell.

Skyboi's rules for paint:

1. Only wash it when it's dirty...fight the urge
2. Do NOT touch the paint between washes...No wiping it down or the dust off it. Give it a shot of copmressed air if you need to but no physical touching.
3. When washing, make sure your mit is extremely clean, wash from the top down, rinse your mit thoroughly between panels and sections.
4. Use a wax that goes on and off very easy and wax often to maintain moisture in the paint. Most people think that a hard wax is good cause it won't come off...Not true...They all break down in about the same amount of time from air, ultraviolet and friction and acid rain. ALso, it's a PIA to get off so you dread the "wax job" and subsequently you put it off.

Hope this helps... Work smart not hard
