Old School Autopian Check In !!!

Been a member (and lurker) since early 2003. (Where the heck did THOSE 11 years go?) Spent so much time reading and learning over the years, this is my first post. Best detailing information and most knowledgeable detailing experts anywhere are right here on Autopia. Been sidetracked by other priorities the last few years, but picked up a new (to me) ride recently, so I'm back to continue my education.

Hangin' since March 2004. Same month and year I quit my 50k+ job to clean cars. And the year I found my passion.

Similar story here. Left my 60k job to detail cars. 😁

G'day all. long time although had a few years away after being banned for a reason I just dont understand but then having the ban lifted

Gotta say though - still a good forum but it's just not the same as it once was. too commercial

Which detailing forum isn't?? Autopia seems to be the least. Plus you can say anything about any product without fear of censorship (anymore).
 
Here as well.  Learnt a ton, then went away for a while, and occasionally came back.  I have schooled endless people on the in's and out's of paint care, analyzing their finishes and detailed many, many cars for friends and family pro-bono...
 
Checking in!  Here since Aug 2008.  Learned a lot.  But have been lurking off and on these forums in the past 3 years.  But still keeping up the dedication of maintaining two close-to-swirl-free daily drivers (mine and wifey's).  For the most part, I haven't changed the methods I've learned here since 2009, except maybe adopting the GDWM recently.

Totally agree. The simple fact that you can talk about any product imaginable makes this a great forum. I've never gotten a "commercial" vibe from it at all either

Been here since 2007. Learned a LOT :) , said very little.  :ph34r:
 
Checking in after several days of not being recognized. Had to go to a whole new password. Now, back to lurking.
 
Old school? When I started all this shiny car stuff the word "detailer" wasn't even in anyone's vocabulary. We just washed 'em good. Used lots of spit, steel wool and old t-shirts. And I had to walk a mile to get a bucket of water. It was tough, I tell ya.
 
don't even remember when i joined, but its been through a few iterations since. always able to learn something new everytime i check in
