oh yeah i know i wasnt planning on polishing and stuff like that yet. just washing at first until i learn more but i do wash my car a lot and wax and i am very careful

I would suggest getting body panels from scrap yards to practice what combination or sealants, waxes and cleaners work best with certain paints.

If you want to take the next step jump in and grab a random orbital polisher. That is a much safer jump. It will help you do compounding and polishing work when you're ready but you can only just use it for sealant application etc.

Read read read, practice practice practice.

That's a good start.

Hope that helps.

Finally start hitting up some detailing forums.

Cheers,
Nick
