Things I've learnt while detailing (frivolous & silly post)

1. Having long fingernails is great for working products into little nooks and cranny's, just don't expect them to last very long.

2. Following instructions and testing touch-up paint on an inconspicuous spot is good, but the same should probably also apply to honing your skills.

3. No, the drivers' door does NOT count as inconspicuous no matter how much the chips and scratches bother you.

4. Apparently "only a girl" would think of wrapping 2000 wet/dry around a cuticle stick to get surface rust out of deeper chips.

5. The above can be intended as a compliment, not a patronisation, so a dirty look isn't strictly necessary.

6. Yes, you will make your life harder if you decide that the surface is cool enough half an hour after driving on a 28C (82F) day.

'cause it won't be, even if it is in the shade.
