Well I was crazy about detailing few years ago but now i am not interested in that work because I got a job and I don't have extra time to continue this. But when I was detail cars I used everything and experienced with every tool which is used for detailing.

Yeah I did this in high school and college which was 20 years ago...it is good side money. Check out Autopia Auto Detailing Forum which is home to a massive amount of detail information. I've even purchased a few products through them years ago, solid quality stuff.
