  1. Yeah I saw that on the vids online... But the way Junkman was showing it, wouldn't you have to be extra careful with the plastic bag by lifting it up and down gently and not gliding it all? I ran it through a touchless twice just thinking it would get whatever dirt or stuff was on there. Depending on which products I buy and how fast they ship from the Adam's store to Houston, I'll probably spend all of next weekend cleaning it and starting the wash, clay, swirl/scratch removing, polish, and then one or two coats of wax and hopefully not bothering you guys too much if I mess up.
  2. Thank you Chris... One question, let's say I "clay" the car completely, because it is a fast ride that I'll probably drive anywhere and everywhere, and the fact that during rainstorms or heavy wind, while it's covered overhead, but not from the sides, how soon will the "debris" or contaminants come back?
  3. I've been watching a lot of youtube vids and reading a lot of sites and I recently bought a 2010 Challenger R/T and while it's a great car that I got a deal on, the condition of the paint was less than stellar. Normally, I was a OTC product user on my beater that I used to get to Univ./Work, but now that I've bought this, I not only want to fix all the considerable swirl damage, but there are also some scratches here and there. Nothing that looks as if it's in the paint, but that requires some "extra" work. While I don't have one myself, my friend will let me borrow his porter cable to use. Where I live there is also exposure to the elements, but it's akin to a carport and my car is usually protected from the sun shining down on it or being hit by rain, so I'm not sure if that will make a difference? I saw Junkmans videos on youtube and he did all the stuff in the garage. I'd love if he could also give me some insight as well. I'm familiar with compounds and polishes, and might have some old Mother's compound, but seeing as how this is a much newer and nicer car, I want it to be perfect without having me going to a pro-detailer who will probably milk me dry (sorry to you fine professional detailers out there, but why pay when I could probably do it myself). Never "clayed" myself personally, and seeing as how it's not going to be parked where it's completely protected from wind, pollen etc. I'm thinking instead of the cost of the professional detail, I could put that into some Adam's products that will last? Thanks for any and all help.
