Plaf, Adam’s polishes actually makes a half decent DIY DVD. I think I have it somewhere, you can borrow it if I can locate it.

Detailing is all about the prep work and patience. My OCD helps me quite a bit. Also, stay away from lower end waxes. I really only use Menzerna now. You need to find a combination that works FOR YOU. It took me years of trial and error before I figured out a good process.
