Hi I have been lurking here for a a couple weeks now. I'm trying to learn the acronyms etc so bear with me.
I was into detailing over 20 years ago and worked for a local business detailing high end cars the summer plus a few months after high school. I worked on Jags, MB, Vettes, classics, BMW, etc. We used all Megs products back then as that was the only quality pro line and only a rotary. The DA didn't exist I don't think. I know the PC did not. I only burned through one dark green jag in doing many cars over 6 months so that wasn't too bad I guess. My skills are basically non existent now as I haven't done any detailing in years so I am starting over. My goal now is to get to the 'prosumer' level which doesn't seem that hard from the posts I have read here. The hard part has been trying to figure out all of the product choices, it's mind boggling.
My interest kind of came back up out of need when a couple weeks ago I 'accidentally' bought a black vehicle. We have been driving silver cars in our household for 15+ years so I kind of forgot about the PITA part and got caught up in the moment. We bought a new 2009 obsidian black Subaru Forester (great looking vehicle). Too late now so I am here to get educated and at least keep this black vehicle looking better than 90% of people's cars which shouldn't be that hard when I look around.
I thought maybe the consumer world had changed when I saw TW Ice and bought and tried that and it was a joke. I realized I need to use the good stuff again.
I am also now building up my tool and product 'inventory' so I can get this right. I have a bunch of stuff and need to just fill in the gaps I think but I will cover that in another thread so I can ask for some opinions. I'll probably be posting with a bunch of questions so that is better for the Car Detailing forum I think.
I may even do some friends and family vehicles to speed up my practice.
Anyway glad you guys are here obsessing so we can all benefit. Thanks!
