I am in desperate need of a detail on my car and I make the mistake of paying other people to do it for me instead of learning by myself (no offense to the people that ive asked, you do great work). I figure if i can learn than i wont need any help but im not sure where to start. Ive done simple details but things like oxidation, swirls, and scratches i have no clue how to fix them, nor do i know the tools or product to use. > > Basically my car has a lot of swirls, some scratches and one part of the car has a little oxidation. Im looking to get the most out that i can. I do realize that some stuff wont come out but i want it to look the best that it can. Where should i start and what should i use? Any help is much appreciated. Groits has some DVD’s on how to detail, etc --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/detailing-101/251301)._
