I think the guys were talking about just making their cars nice 'n' shiny for the shoot.[/b]

Speaking of learning new things, I need to learn how to "properly" detail a car. I have my trusty Dawn dishwashing soap (if you've never tried it, it really works well!), a hand towel and some tire stuff and it seems to work okay, but I'd love to know how it's done the right way!

Understood. I figured it would make some people cringe. It is, afterall, not meant for cars.

I've used Dawn, and have read about a lot of detailers using it. It strips everything off and preps the paint for a "full" detail... Clay/polish/etc. But, yeah, don't use it if you want your wax to stay on the car!

It's not what you drive, it's how you drive it.
