I have so much to learn. I'm going to go through this process some time in August. I'm going to be taking in a lot of youtube videos and forums. Thank you all for your replies.

I've always taken care of my cars, but the very basic level: a wash and a hard-wax. This is the first car that I've owned that I desire more than that. There is so much out there...

Try and get through all the documents that I have posted to my dropbox that are in my signature. It is written for people exactly like you. It’s not hard, but if you read too much, yes , It can be very confusing, because there is about 1 million ways to skin this cat.

I've got the docs Glen made and wow. I'm in over my head.

I haven't gotten any of the materials yet (still) because its intimidating and I rarely have much spare time.

I'm dumb though, and ultimately wish I could have somebody teach me in person.
I can do what I think I saw in a video, but still be wrong... has happened before.

I just may have to take you up on that offer.

I'm going to be heading out to California for some work training, and get back in October..... Might be able to make a weekend road trip up that way.
