I went to a detailing clinic over the weekend...
Pretty cool little session where some distributor let us hang with our cars in their warehouse while they went over their products and showed us good techniques on how to use them. We went over the basics of washing and detailing and I learned a couple little things that I didn't know before.
1. you should not wash microfiber cloths w/ other types of cloth because the the materials will be mixed and your microfiber won't be as soft anymore (leading to scratches)
2. when polishing, you should use straight strokes instead of circles to help fix swirl marks, which are generally in circular shapes
The best part is they let us use whatever products they had to detail our cars afterwards so we had a whole warehouse full of tools and supplies to use. Some of us did a little photo shoot at a parking lot nearby after we finished:

Notice, I was the only B5 there...
They took more pics of my car but I don't have them yet and will post when I get em.
