Always helping my dad in the garage with anything and then finally start washing and waxing at about 11 or 12. Didn't really start doing it "the Autogeek way" until I was about 16. Haven't looked back since.:xyxthumbs:

Research and reading... i.e. discussion forums... :xyxthumbs:

It's been a pleasure to have you as my mentor (indirectly though LOL!!!) over the years. I couldn't be happier that I learned from you and learned most of what I know from the detailing guru himself.

Thanks for posting the pictures!!! Brings back the memories of when I first started reading through MOL. I was really excited back then and I swear it was information overload.

So thats where the picture for UC came from. Never knew that. Looks like I have some reading to do. Thanks for bringing this up Marc.
