Hi all,
Just wanted to stop in and introduce myself.
I found this highly addictive site about two months and have been lurking ever since. So I thought it was about time to sign up and post.
Didn't actually realize there is a lot more to just draggin' the hose and bucket out to wash the car. Holy smokes I've been doing it all wrong for years.. and years....
One has never felt so lazy until you read all of effort that everyone puts into taking care of their cars, the steps that are required to keep it looking that good and a determination to always improve.
So, the reason for me being here is that the wife and I just bought a new car and I wanted to keep that new car look so I was actually just poking around the internet looking for a new washing mitt and some odds and ends to keep the car clean and I happen to come across AG. Once I saw the content and products here, my pupils dilated to the size of quarters. That was the entrance to the rabbit hole and in I dove head first.. reading and watching.. reading more.. researching.. watching even more.. and on and on it went and will go.
I was getting more in tune as to what was needed ( thanks Mike for that video on "Here's what you need to..." (https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/2017-new-car-detailing-how-article-mike-phillips/111332-heres-what-you-need-get-into-machine-polishing-recommendations-beginner-mike-phillips.html) ) if I was going to go down this path. Although I've read you can remove DISO's (YAY!) or imperfections in the paint by hand, my hope was to still have both arms attached to me by the end of the day. So, on I went to gather my new supplies and getting on a first name basis with my FedEx delivery guy.
Good guy.. name is John, has a wife, 2 kids, 1 in college lives on the Southside of town.. but I digress.
It's been odd but I've never been an OCD type of person but since starting this taking-care-of-my-car-is-that-a-speck-of-dust-on-my-new-wax-job?! Yeah.. like that.
So I'll cut this short. Found this site, read and watched until my eyes bled, picked up some products ( Who am I kidding, a ton of products), a GG6" - because a beginner has to begin at the beginning and I'm off on making my wife nuts the neighbors envious and my body sore.
Here's looking forward to talking with some of you as I'm SURE I'll have questions.

Mike,
Thanks for the incredible and invaluable information and videos posted. Can't say that it hasn't been information overload.
But that's a good thing.:props:
