I joined today after lurking for a while. My name is Jeff and I am looking forward to being an active mamber over here. My goal is to be able to maintain my own vehicles and keep my black DD looking as swirl free as possible.
I tend to try alot of different products looking for tghe product that will make up for my lack of expertise. Nothing yet. At this point I can't say I am partial to any one brand. I have used alot of good products, and some bad ones as well. I have come to the conclusion that the Prep, know how (process) and skill of the operator (with the right tools) is 97.5% and the products are the othe 2.5%. I have been to some detail weekends at Poorboys and they were very helpful and great hosts and guys. Here I learned that the know how is more important than the product. They got results on my car with the same products that I could not. Different pads, pressure and work time all factor in to the end result. Nothing beats hands on training for detailing. I have made great leaps thanks to them but am still short of my goal.
I own so amny products/machines and pads that I am emparassed that I can't get my car looking like I want. I hacve been at this for 2 years as a student and hope to comtunue my education here.
That my story and i look forward to learning and contributing here at AGO.
