Absolutely.

I am little surprised, although, with you taking a shot at the Junkman. I've personally always enjoyed his vids and he's been doing them a very long time, not to mention he has helped a lot of peeps get starting in detailing.

While he did make DVD's at one point, he doesn't seem to push products like a lot of guys and I appreciate his no-nonsense approach, using common sense without the hype. Pretty sure he's helped Porter Cable, Garry Dean and a few others quite a bit with his vids and product recommendations, without shilling to much (IMO).

To each their own and all that.

Wash / decontaminate, clay, correct paint (if needed and if you're confident doing it), polish, seal, wax. At least those are the steps I follow in general and as needed per vehicle.

As for what a clay bar does, it cleans your clear coat / paint. There are vids for days on uTube about detailing.

Pic of the Fronty DD after the 1st hard wash post 4 step paint detail. Not the best time-o-day for light, but that reflection on the passenger door is the front of the neighbor's house. Haven't got to the tires just yet.

PS - That's the ISF on the far right peeking out behind the truck.
