And there's a ton of info no doubt Jon! I sure do see a lot of credit being given to Menzerna though?
As for CCS from LC, I think myself and alot of others havent really found any benefit to CCS design, and no longer support the claims of the pads "elitness"......

Thanks guys...i actually just read your sticky Excel about everything. I was looking for something like that in a book... there must have been a book you started with just to lay down your foundation and then did your own techniques after?

Right?

Going to try and buy some stuff in couple weeks from you excel and then try and detail my own car end of this month..

Then move to a friends dark blue car...

You'd be surprised to see what I have started in regards to how to's. i get about 90% of the way done with them, lose track, and then they sit until someone like yourself mentions books or writings, lol. My last one started was "So you've decided to break your Machine polishing virginity?"
I really dont get into detail about how to's. Simply for the reason everyone has their own technique, so i just cover basics and let the user go from there. If you have any questions, dont hesitate to drop them here, or email, call, pm, text....whatever!

I have basically gone to school via the detailing forums on the internet including this one. there are several excellent detailing specific forums to choose from. I sent you a PM with a few of my favorites.
