911 ST.....
sure..... im happy to help! ask away............
i am about 2 months ahead of you as far as detailing prowess! i am an absolute newbie myself so i can and will only share what my completely novice experience has been..... i am, however, THRILLED with the end result.
the key for me was................. accept that it will take you a LONG time to complete it, it you get tired or frustrated, put your tools down and come back another time......
as matter a fact you should WANT it to take you a long time! i did and accepted it. worked out great there was no hurry and enjoy the WHOLE process.
i was very very very concerned MYSELF, like you. for a few reasons..... i was very happy with the way my car looked BEFORE..... i had no issues with a 10 foot car...... BUT freaking YOUTUBE got me thinking... what if i do a FULL details and a paint correction on my car?
the other concern is that my paint is 30 years old. how easy would it be to RUIN perfectly fine 10 foot away paint? VERY EASY i would imagine.
i have a young family and ruining a perfectly good paint job and incurring a 10K cost for a new paint job is just stoopid.
should i try it? do it? after watching "i am detail" and "AMMO NYC" videos....... i thought to myself... oh what the hell...... im going to try... doesn't look THAT hard........ and if i DONT use powerful power tools i wont run the risk of burning through my paint....... seemed worth the risk... i have the time, i want to put the effort in, AND i get to hang out with my sons in the garage... cant get better than that cant it?
i also CONSULTED with my friend COOPER BOGGS detail expert and the most generous professional you will ever come across. He gave me an incredible amount of advise and guidance and listened to my STUPID rookie questions. always responded immediately and graciously and complimented me on my progress..... i cant thank him enough.
ok.... getting back to the actual work and your questions.......
