New from New York

[Chris M.]

Hello everyone. My name is Chris and I live in Orange County, NY. I have been detailing cars since the mid '80's. I started with my parents vehicles and eventually got a job with a detailing company. After several years, I moved on and just maintained my personal and family vehicles. This past winter, I was bitten by the "detail bug", and after doing a Google search, I found myself here, reading about all the new products and techniques in car detailing. So, after buying several hundred dollars worth of supplies, and reading and re-reading Mike's articles, I did my first paint correction to a 2003 Ford Expedition (white). I wish I had pictures for everyone before I started, but after I did my test section, I couldn't believe the results! I was so amazed, that I just wanted to get it done. Now that it's finished, the "boss" doesn't want it to come out of the garage!

I would like to thank everyone here for posting their tips and suggestions. Also, Mike's "how to" videos were a big help. Thank you, Mike.

I look forward to learning more and hopefully I'll be able to share my knowledge with everybody here.
