Today's detailer wants bite-sized projects they can tackle in a few hours on the weekend. They also appreciate knowing exactly how much time and what supplies need to be arranged beforehand so they are not surprised halfway through a hands-on procedure. This book is, first and foremost a tool. The book explains all the techniques and products needed, lays out detailed schedules, and explains the cost in time. By allowing readers to stop the progression of projects wherever or whenever they wish, this book appeals to a wide range of readers. The crisp, all-color photography demonstrates the results that can be achieved through proper detailing and helps illustrate the techniques that anyone can use to make their car look good as new.

2.0 out of 5 stars
just for the basics,
This review is from: Ultimate Auto Detailing Projects (Paperback)
If you have ever washed a car before, this book is not for you. This book is made for someone who has never washed a car in there life. I am still shopping for a more advanced book, this is not it. Very good for a beginner though.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Mostly common sense,
By lusluckylad "lusluckylad" (Medford, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultimate Auto Detailing Projects (Paperback)
Nothing earth shattering here and it reads like the insert from your latest prescription. Lots of common sense tips, but that's not all bad, because we can all use a reminder now and again about things we already know. A bit dated, but the techniques and principals haven't changed as much as the products. There were a few gems scattered here and there and my time spent uncovering them was certainly not wasted. I may even reference it again from time to time - but not if I'm looking for a chuckle.

Ultimate Auto Detailing Projects,
By dozer (Central Valley, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultimate Auto Detailing Projects (Paperback)
If you want to gain knowledge at how to properly detail a vehicle then you should start here -- especially if you have little or no experience. It provides guidance to safely and effectively detail cars so this is why I say it's great for a beginner. It's easy to read, thoughtfully organized, and full of good ideas. I would like to see an updated version, but this book is still very highly recommended.
