So a couple of people have asked me on various threads what my process is for washing and maintaining the paint on our cars, as I regularly post pictures of shiny cars after I've cleaned them.
I have to confess that I used to hate doing it and always went to the Eastern European guys (who knacker your paint generally), but I actually find it quite therapeutic nowadays. As I was doing a thorough job on Saturday, I decided to take a few pictures along the way. I'm not an expert at all, but I know stuff like claying, paint correction etc. can be daunting to some, so just want to show that if I can do it, anyone can.
The 1st place I'd look is in the detailing forum on this site. There's a great write up by a professional on how to wash your car. But there are also loads of tutorials and information on Youtube which are easy to watch and understand and will give you the main process which you can then improve with experience.
