Hi folks. Brand new to all this - I've been looking around the forums and there's a LOT of information here.... Can make it a little hard to find what you're looking for.
Anyways, what I'd like to know is how to detail all those crevices and crannies that you can't reach with a PC or Flex? Like around badges, under rocker panels, inside door handles, painted edges outside the wheel wells, around trim (even if you tape the trim off, the PC won't go up "tight") and so on. You know, "tight spots". So do you just not detail those places? See, total n00b...!
Oh, one other thing - I have this stupid Xzilon dealer sealant on my car. Does that change how I should perform a detail? I tried to remove some of it with Dawn followed by 70/30 IPA but it doesn't look like it did anything. Decided removing it wasn't work the work, so now I'm not sure exactly how to detail.
BTW, I've been out two days in a row now trying to detail my car. DAMN, that takes a long time (granted, I didn't start until early afternoon). How long is it supposed to take?? The most I could get done yesterday was a claying. Ran out of daylight so I just wiped the drying detail spray off. Even that left her really nice looking - Adam must slip a little wax into the detail spray, ya think?
