Difficult questions to answer
April 16th, 2006 by Danny the web stig
F.A.Q. stands for Frequently asked questions. And as i was always taught to answer the questions that people are actually asking, that is exactly what I will try to do.
The first thing I should point out is that I work in the valeting (detailing) industry, so some of the questions may seem a little strange to you. But they are actually asked of me on a regular basis, and thats why I have published them here.
The second thing I should point out is that many of these questions are asked of me by enthusiasts. This is not a website for enthusiasts, and we will try to avoid long geeky answers, but I will try to answer the questions to the satisfaction of car care enthusiasts all the same.
Thirdly, I must point out that I don’t know all the answers despite being involved the industry. I should also point out that the industry isn’t always 100% honest. The science of cleaning is all about chemistry and physics, and few of us who do it for a living are actually very well qualified in these areas. So we rely on the scientists who work for the suppliers of products and equipment. Seldom do we actually have direct access to scientists, and instead we deal with salesmen and marketeers. I make sure that all the people I deal with are helpful and honest - but features and benefits of various products do tend to get hyped for the sake of marketing, so there are mamy old wive’s tales about.
What I can do is try and find out the right answers and be as honestly as I can — I can’t guarantee that I will always be right, and that is why I have waited until now before doing this. This website has a commenting feature that will allow other people in the industry to chip in their own tupence worth. Hopefully we will get the right answers in the end.

I know I said that I would answer the questions that people are actually asking, but there are some leather facts that are useful to know and on this page I'll write - How do I get back the new-car-smell?
