Hi all, new member here. Just turned 20 last month and decided to splurge a bit on the exterior of our 2012 Montero Sport. I have been watching detailing videos on youtube for a while and I have already purchased a cheap rotary polisher (the kind of drill shaped ones for ~500 on shopee), 1 step compound+polish, iron decontaminant, bug and tar remover, glaz crystal fx, and a clay bar (all microtex except for the iron decon which is from iChem). I have already been the one taking care of the interior and exterior of the car so I also have carwash soap and the like and I use our pressure washer. I just wanted to know, is there anything important that I need to know before, during, and after paint correction? Things like should I use carwash soap or just dish soap before polish or do I need to tape the emblems or can I get away with just polishing around it? That's all, thank you!
