think theres actually about 4 levels of cleaning cars
valeting
detailing
paint correction (tbh detailing and paint correction sometimes come into the same brackets)
and finally concourse

you learn all the time mate, i used to use sponges and the drying blades, my word i cringe saying that now but its true
go onto detailing world and you will learn a lot
people also seem to think especially on QVC that polish is a protectant, these people are in the valeting business, id love to see some of them panels machined then looked under a halogen light, then the product used and then looked again under a halogen light again to see if it has scratched it
as people say you get what you pay for and its so true
ooo and concours is basically like this
http://www.turbosport.co.uk/showthre...osworth-400bhp
basically all new parts or old parts refurbed, everything painted/powdercoated, not an ounce of rust on it, every piece and part must be clean
its like a brand new car except its like about ten year old

For 30 buck this is what I do:
Snow foam
Wash
Rinse
Dry
Glaze
Wax
Seal
Alloys are a 5er extra and so is engine bay.
All done with the correct techniques etc... No paint correction.
Thats for small hatchbacks, saloons start at 40 and big 4x4 and people carriers are 50 all in.
