    Been reading a lot of posts here about detailing and what people use. I sadly am just a wash and quick detail, but I want to change that. What are some of the things to do for someone new to get started? Soap, towels, wax, rims, wheels and wax? Pre-foam? Somethings I am not sure of are paste wax, liquid wax, what to use to apply? by hand the best or a tool, like an attachment for the wax and should I get a buffer? soo many intricate details that I have no idea about. I have a 2013 Black RW and there are swirls, would like to be able to get rid of those as well. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks
