^^ Hmmm, I think I'll try that water blade.

Make sure the blade is clean. If it picks up any dirt or grit, it drags it all over your paint.

Will do. I've been using the Absorber Chamois for almost 20 years now. One for the car, and one for non-OEM wheels (if I have them). It's great, but I'm always willing to try something new.

The water blase is the absolute worst thing that you could possible drag across your paint, especially if you wash you car outdoors. That thing is the work of the devil.

We be killing it in my garage. :D

Just fixed this Camry last month. There's not a drop of wax on it in this video, but I had people guessing all types of waxes because of how it looked when I finished POLISHING it.

Just got done watching the two bucket video series and engine cleaning...wow. I have always been frustrated with washing my cars and now I understand why. Thanks Junkman!!

Always use the two bucket system. And for drying I suggest investing in an electric blower...the less you touch the paint the better. Helps get the water out of all the out of reach places as well.

This. I've watched a ton of his videos, and my car looks great when I get the chance to wash it. As far as I'm concerned, the guy drinks for free if he's ever in my neck of the woods.
