Best way to dry is NOT a squeegee! If there is a speck of dirt on the paint, you are now dragging that across the entire surface.

The best way to dry is with a blower, no contact with the paint and it gets the water out of all the nooks and crannies.

Here is a much better guide to detailing your car.

I don't know anyone who uses 3 buckets... Not sure why you would want one for the wheels if you're spraying on cleaning solution and then rinsing it off...

Using a squeegee is asking for trouble. 9/10 times your paint is not perfectly clear of dust, even after you just washed it.

If you're new to polishing, don't let a rotary polisher come near your paint without perfecting your technique. It's like driving a manual for the first time... you're not going to be an expert in 5 minutes. It takes tons of practice to handle a rotary. Stick to a random orbit polisher if you're starting out.

Can these articles get any worse? This one reads like it was written by a random language generator.

Pleass make it stop!!

I would not take this writer's advice about anything, based on the grammar mistakes and poor sentence structure of this article. It is pitiful. The handbook linked, while many years old by now, offers much better advice and is more well written for an intelligent audience.

Come on, Curated Editor, sure you think we're not stupid, or do you?
