"You may be asking, what is detailing?" I've found it can mean different things to different people. Some think it's a quick wash, vac and wax, while others believe its squirrelling their car away insome high-tech lab for white-coated technicians to dismantle and cleanse every nut and bolt!
"Let's first agree that Petrolheads - car guys and girls - will usually be the ones who have the passion for making great home detailers.
"The truth lies somewhere in the middle. Modern detailing is a combination of skills, passion, using the correct products, and going a step further to tackle areas you can't see, as well as those that you can. Perhaps you could describe detailing as the art of restoring the cosmetic appearance of a vehicle's interior and exterior, including paint correction and restoration, by hand, to like-new. condition, just how she appeared in the sales brochure!�??

The author did an amazing job of creating memorable and heartfelt nonfiction read that allowed readers to both connect with the author and his experiences and the specific tools and parts that are needed to service the various parts of a vehicle. The chapters go into wonderful detail on these aspects of detailing, from the materials that are used in a vehicle’s part and what is needed to keep it maintained and “healthy�??, to the impact a car’s physical attributes and cleanliness have on a person both physically and emotionally.
The knowledge and straightforward writing style the author utilizes in this book does an amazing job of keeping readers invested in the narrative and finds the perfect way of keeping readers engaged on the technical side of detailing and the inspiring aspect of the author's own experiences and writing style.
