Something tells me I will. Thank`s
Nice looking ride! Thanks for the welcome
Thank you
Been doing this since `78 when I was hired to detail a dealers ( that would be a car dealer by the way) private collection. Started painting race bikes in `83 and naturally detailing what wasn`t painted. Haven`t slowed down since. Then I met Ron in a detail forum. What little free time I had was instantly gone to keep up with the Ron`s.
Never been happier

yamabob- Hey, I`m late to this party, but "if Ron introduces you, that`s enough for me" and and all that. It sounds like you and I date to about the same starting point for this stuff (Dealership work in `78...check..).

Welcome, yamabob!
Since you are an "experienced" (AKA older) detailer, you`ve seen a lot of changes in detailing products, equipment, and methodologies. Someone once asked me what is the biggest change in detailing I`ve seen. Microfibers? Surface cleaning clays? Foam polishing pads? Long-throw DA polishers? Sealants? SMAT abrasives? Coatings? While all of these are, indeed, changes in detailing, NOTHING has had the impact that the internet and this forum of like-minded detailing enthusiasts I call fellow Autopians has had (sounds redundant, doesn`t it!) on my detailing exploits. Where else can I learn about new detailing products, equipment, and methodologies (AKA how-to`s) along with opinions and judgments based on their experience. That, and the ability to buy almost anything detailing-related over the internet.
There are a lot things detailers like and some they do not like. And we all have our favorite products. Mine is mostly a "Meguiar`s thing", but that`s what I grew up with, seeing it was available at the car parts or auto paint supply stores locally (before the internet). Most detailers, though, I think have a pretty eclectic and varied product supply from various car-care manufacturers, because of this internet thing (see it, learn about it , buy it) and wanting to try it out for ourselves. So this is one way to introduce yourself: what detailing products do you use and/or like?
By the way, I am the "nosy one" who asks a lot of sometimes impertinent questions (whatever that means) because "inquiring minds want to know". You may also see me refer to myself as "Captain Obvious", but to explain that.. well , see the (redundant) comment above. Hope you are at least smiling after reading this!
Again, welcome.

Thanks Lonnie. I would agree with the internet being the biggest change. Exchange of ideas and products along with willingness to try new things is a major benefit. Some like to stick to their brand(s) and poo-poo people who like to challenge a product to do or be the new best thing (which will never happen).
For me to list the products I`ve used and like would almost be fruitless to an extent. Scholl,Sonax , Menzerna polishes are my go to brands with Menzerna most used. A little more of a pain to remove the residue but I like the finish with my technique/skillset. I`ve used Adam`s -Meq`s - 3M, Ardex as well but no longer use them. LSP`s would vary much greater as to whom I`m doing work for -their need`s and budget. I could narrow it down to Swissvax for `nuba , Backfire for sealant and Gyeon Mohs for coating`s. I`ve just really started into coating and prefer to play with the paint more often than needed, so this is something I only really do if asked.
I could bore everyone even more with the toppers-booster`s- detailing sprays but will take pity on all for the sake of making friends and not enemies ( or more enemies anyway)
Thanks for the welcome!!
