Hi Justin,
Welcome to Autogeek Online!
Usually it's best to introduce yourself in the "Introduction Forum Group" and then ask questions in a forum group dedicated for "questions".
By using this approach you'll get a lot more feedback because many members don't know you're asking questions with a subject, "Hello All" in the intro forum.
Here's a good place to start...
Auto Detailing 101 (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/)
