If you have ever washed a car before, this book is not for you. This book is made for someone who has never washed a car in there life. I am still shopping for a more advanced book, this is not it. Very good for a beginner though.
Nothing earth shattering here and it reads like the insert from your latest prescription. Lots of common sense tips, but that's not all bad, because we can all use a reminder now and again about things we already know. A bit dated, but the techniques and principals haven't changed as much as the products. There were a few gems scattered here and there and my time spent uncovering them was certainly not wasted. I may even reference it again from time to time - but not if I'm looking for a chuckle.
If you want to gain knowledge at how to properly detail a vehicle then you should start here -- especially if you have little or no experience. It provides guidance to safely and effectively detail cars so this is why I say it's great for a beginner. It's easy to read, thoughtfully organized, and full of good ideas. I would like to see an updated version, but this book is still very highly recommended.
There are a few good tricks revealed in this book. Proper techniques are detailed. I love keeping my car looking new - this book recommends some methods for doing so.
If you been around cars most of this is just common sense with some good tips. Not a book I would keep maybe just read and share with others. B-
Didn't read the whole book yet, but it does contain good info getting ready for the next car show. It also lists some products to use when extra cleansing is needed.
Inspired me to clean my car. Specific and clear.Each section focuses on one assignment and shows products and procedures that can be used.
This is an oldie but goodie. Publication date in 2003 (?)- but the info and tips are classic and good. This is a good intro book to detailing
