Thanks Everyone!!! I just placed my first order. Lots of basics...two buckets with the rolling bases, car shampoo, foam gun, etc. I'm asking my fiance for that rolling shelf/caddy for Christmas. LOL We are going to clean out my garage in October, in anticipation of his moving in next year when we get married. (Yes, this 60 year old granny is getting married...again...lol...never say never!) He's got a Silverado that he's fairly OCD about, so I'm sure we will have lots of good times working on our vehicles. He's more into working on his engine and keeping it detailed, and he has a huge red tool box that is coming soon to my garage. My garage is already pretty spiffy, for a woman's garage, but I'm excited to make it even more special with my detailing products. I have to admit that I felt pretty ill equipped to do the corrections that my brand new vehicle needed. It was very scratchy in areas. I also wanted a ceramic coat. So, I'm getting that done at a local detail shop. I researched the h*ll out of all the local shops, and the one I'm using has nothing but 5 star reviews, has been in business a long time, does all the fancy cars in this area, and I met with their shop manager (a woman who is in my age range!!! Retired from the KY Toyota factory!) and was so impressed. So, I'm taking it in for today. Hope I made the right decision, but I just didn't feel like I had the skills (yet) or the time to do it myself. And during my meeting with the shop manager, she asked if I wanted a job there. LOLOLOL Gosh, I would love to intern at a detail shop!!! Maybe I have a new career to explore when I retire from transplant nursing in a few years!!!

Can someone give me a basic list of 1, 2, 3....what I do to get a good finish on my new vehicle? It is brand new, a dark blue Equinox. I can look around and find the "how to" for each step, but I need someone to tell me the order of all the things I'm reading about here! Thanks!

Hello! I'm Carol, a 60 year old grandmother and registered nurse. I've always been a little whacko OCD about my cars. I park a mile from everything, wash and wax religiously, etc. But, recently two things happened. First, I bought a new Chevrolet Equinox. (I know, it's nothing special, but it's mine...) I have always had smaller cars, but I'm engaged to be married next spring and my fiancé is 6'4", so I had to get something that he was comfortable in. The new Equinox is dark blue, which was new for me also. I've always had silver cars. I suddenly became obsessed with thought of keeping this vehicle clean. Then, the weekend after I bought the vehicle, we went to the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green KY. They sell Adams products there, and had some videos going about proper care and it just blew me away. I realized I'd been doing everything wrong. So, here I am, and I'm determined to learn and take really good care of this vehicle!
