    In addition to the daily threads, I'd like to build a how-to thread each month. This is the initial calendar I have planned. Does anyone have requests?

    Each month this thread will address a different aspect of car detailing.

    January 08: Keeping your car clean through the Northern winter

    February 08: Interior Detailing

    March 08: Washing

    April 08: Compounding / Polishing

    May 08: Glazing / Waxing / Sealing

    June 08: Wheels / Wells / Tires

    July 08: Wet Sanding

    August 08: Windows / Tint

    September 08: Winter Preparation

    All input as to the calendar and the presentation format is welcome.

    Excellent. Ill try to post some small videos along with the write-up.
    My Nikon D80 was just "lost" as I moved into my new house last month. I just ordered a D40x that should be here Monday, hopefully the picture quality will improve over the current shots I have up on here.

    I'm wrapping up my Jan 08 write-up. Just waiting for my garage to be cleaned out as it had become a furniture storage facility in the past week. (I just moved and have new furniture coming in and out)

    Next Saturday there will be a decent write up about:

    Washing in winter
    Sealing wheels
    Why seal and or wax paint and windows

    Can you lock down a subforum for these only? Duplicate the tutorial for discussion on a regular forum and have one with just the tutorials in it? ...not that I'd expect a lot of noise but certainly some discussion and then you don't have to hunt for the source.
