I fuking hate cleaning my car. I'm actually very embarrassed by that as well.

A dirty car will spoil your car quick...always try to clean it or you can use cleaning services.

Best scratch /swirl / pinstripe removing method and product? Preferably something that isn't like a 15 step process. It will continue getting scratches as it's my camping rig so I'm not looking for a showroom finish

Went on my maiden off road voyage, the tree branches were not kind to me

I like your courage... you sound like a superman.

What is that thing cleaning your wheels? A steam brush?

Applying a standard wheel cleaner to your alloy wheels could damage them. please what types of wheels are there?

Did some detailing work over the holiday breaks. First some rock chip repair, wet sand some spots, decontaminated with Iron-X, clay bar, then 3-step polish and applied Avalonking Armor Shield coating. Took about a week to complete, few hours each day.

Any of you detail brahs interested in a CG buffer? I literally used mine one time. It's still in the box. $90 shipped.

I would start with a wash, dry and wax kit.

There are a number of then out there, but Adam's polishes has videos for starters on how to use all of their products. Perfect place for a new comer in my opinion. Plus they have forums to ask questions.

$100-$150 for towels, wax, shampoo, rubber/plastic maintenance.

What's your budget? And what kind of car?

Actually the budget is less. At home, only prepare for foam pot + high-pressure washer, but should prepare special car cleaning liquid. It will gentle cleaning on tough dirt and debris. Safe for wax and sealant.

Suggestions on an industrial strength adhesive remover? I removed some old clear bra and cannot get the fuking adhesive off of the paint.
