Automotive Detailing: A Complete Car Care Guide for Auto Enthusiasts and Detailing Professionals

Rating:
Summary: Beginner's Guide
Review: Great intro to auto detailing, primarily for shade tree and driveway detailers. Technique, equipment and chemical suggestions are all first rate and affordable.

Rating:
Summary: Another good general detailing book.
Review: I found the book a little on the general side for the more experienced automotive car care enthusiast such as myself. Ultimate Auto Detailing is probably a little better book in my opinion. The few detailing books that are available don't readily give anymore information than most of the detailing product websites (which seem to be very thorough). If you don't have any basics on detailing consider it, if you already know that there are no true detailing secrets, skip it.

Rating:
Summary: Not so complete.
Review: I found the book to be a good general guide for a beginning home detailer. As a car enthusiasts, many of my questions were not answered. I also feel that product and tool recommendations are outdated. The book is well-written and easy to read. A good start for beginners

Summary: Good for the novice.
Review: This book is probably better suited for the average person wanting to know how to get their car REALLY clean. Pro deatailers may not get as much out of this as they would like. This book concentrates on what to do, in what order it should be done, and what products to use....and relies mostly on the directions on the products to give you instructions. The high points were the chapters on Wheels & Tires and Interior Detailing. I found they were the most detailed with the instructions given. This book also contains a chapter about Detailing as a Business. Gives the basics about how a detail business is operated. If you haven't read a detailing book before, I would recommend starting with this one before moving on.
