Detailing g37 coupe without PC

I've never detailed a car before, and don't have any equipment. I'd like to spend some time detailing my 2008 g37s coupe. Is this possible without a PC? What will I need, and how much will it cost? Any tips or instructions would be helpful. I did read the stickies on what to do but they were assuming I had a PC handy. Thanks.

Will require patience and a lot of ‘elbow grease’ but in some circumstances adequate results can be obtained "Hand Polishing Paint" - Hand Polishing Paint

Really depends on the condition of your paint and color of your car. If you have moderate to severe imperfections, then its not worth trying to do by hand. But if it just needs a good wash, maybe some clay, and a few layers of sealant or wax, then its absolutely realistic.

I'd personally recommend getting some OTC wash, dry, sealant/wax, interior products, and see if you really like washing your car. Some people just don't like doing it, thus not worth spending the money. If you do like it, and is something you get passionate about, then spend the money on a PC and quality products. In the long run it's worth it.

At some point, your order history with Detailed Image will be like mine and need a scroll button. But your ride will be clean and to your standards.
