How's it going everyone? Fresh and new here. Name's Eugene. I've been doing some detailing on the side for a few years, and finally decided to get serious and replenish my inventory with some products that I've used in the past or were recommended by fellow detailers in the area.

I've gotten a lot of experience within the last couple years, and figured it would be a good time to take the next step. I've done continuous research and have had my fair share of product testing. I've been told that this passion/hobby of mine has made me pretty good at what I do. I still consider myself a novice and hope to learn much more.

With that said, this will be my first year doing detailing for people outside of my family. I hope to get a good reputation in the area and gain some regulars. =)

Here is my order from tonight.

Eugene, there are several 'Geeks here from Michigan and a few of us from across the river too! Welcome. Your order looks good. I'd substitute DG 105 for your PB one, but that's just me. I am a huge DG fan!! The Forever black I would also substitute for Solution Finish. Use Ultima UTTG on the cars that don't need dying.

Welcome, I have quite a few friends from Fenton, I'm originally from up north (Alpena area).

The Forever Black dye is actually for my car, the trim around the windows and the moldings is spotted and really faded. I've tried numerous different products with little luck. The next step is the dye, otherwise, there is little chance that something like Black WOW, or Solution Finish will help. Most of the vinyl dressings that I've used only worked for a few days, and the trim began to fade again.

Welcome from NW Illinois!

I was in Fenton once, probably 10 years ago, in mid-September. Nice area.

Hmmm, Scott Orange? The name sounds very familiar...we've got several mutual friends if I'm not mistaken. I used to be in MIGPC, know quite a bit of the guys from the west side.

Hey Eugene, I'm always eating breakfast or lunch at the French Laundry down there! I'm in Grand Blanc. Maybe I'll see some of your work around town and maybe you'll see me too. I'm easy to spot with my white Fiat 500 and all. Good luck to you on the detailing!

Hi Eugene,

Welcome to Autogeek Online! :welcome:

Looks like a pretty good collection of products, you might get more replies if you start a dedicated thread in Detailing 101 and word the title to show that your asking for input versus saying "hello".

That way people will know you're looking for input...


Also, consider a copy of my how-to book...
