Newbie here out in beautiful Phoenix Arizona. Not new to detailing but have been out of it for the past few years. I used to work with Fermani back almost 20 years ago before he got famous!! Just picked up a Griots DA to add to my Dewalt I have used for years. I hope to learn all I can since I have a fleet of personal cars to take care of. Now on to plenty of reading trying to figure out what products/pads works best with this new DA.



Here are a few pics of my cars I will be working on.

Well look what the cat dragged in..........:woot:



That's right, Rich was my Manager for what? 5 years? You were awsome and I certainly miss those days. Man, I wish I could make some time and scan some of my pictures to post here of some of the cars we did @ the shop. :kewlpics



Yes, things sure have changed in the detailing business. I hope you're doing well and I'm glad you joined Autopia and bought a DA polisher. I haven't used my rotary in years and really don't need to with all the new products designed for DA paint correction. I'd be happy to give you some pointers,,,,just like the old days. :bounce:
 
That GT front bumper needs alot of love! I still can't believe you still have the LX vert from back @ the shop days! That sucker was (and probably still) perfect. Good luck with your 9 second shaggin wagon project. That Miata have a Turbo? Can you believe Buckshaw is into those things now??
 
wow someone admits to knowing David Fermani? :grinno: Rich welcome to the forum! Rich Ill pay you for some good photos of David from 20 years ago if you have any lol!
 
No photos. We had a great time doing it. As for the Gt Dave, it is getting parted out for the Fairmont wagon project. The body of the Gt is a POS but looks good in the pic The green/blue miata is the wifes and is supercharged. The red one I just bought three days ago and not sure yet what I am doing with it. Paint needs all kinds of love.
 
No dirt on Dave. We had a good time back then, drove around in either his conv vette or my mustang and detailing cars all day. I remember it very well, good old auto magic products. I remember when we came across 3000-4000 sand paper.

Not true! You've managed a highly successful shop with Fermani I want all kinds of insight into the business end of managing the nightmare that can be 15+ cars a day, customers, employee's, ect!



Welcome to the forum, It's a great community to be a part of.
 
svtrochie- Hey, I'm late to this party but "Welcome to Autopia!" from me too. Any friend of Fermani's....etc. etc.



Oh, and I for one am really digging that Ford wagon!
