Hello everyone, just formally saying hello to you guys from Indiana, and I'm glad I found you here. I have been enjoying keeping my cars shiny and clean for many years now but there is so much to know and learn I decided to join and expand my horizons somewhat.
I'm an amatuer for sure, with cheap cloths and over the counter cleaners, clays, polishes and waxes but have a decent understanding of what does what. Newer to me are sealers and the new coatings and I have joined to learn more there specifically. Never used a power tool to do anything, by hand only so far anyway. I do not have the luxury of a garage sadly so my results are ruined all too quickly but hey, it looks great while it lasts!
Owned many vehicles in many colors, 20 years ago I purchased my first black car, an SHO Taurus which I still remember doing a paint fix on due to someone never caring for the paint before me. Cleaner, Polish, wax and so much work, but my results amazed everyone that saw it before and after. I was hooked, and I learned to hate black due to constant maintaining it requires lol!
Getting a new car tomorrow for my wife, first white car in years. (Her current car is black, I was weak during purchase lol but for the 12 or 13 minutes it's clean it is amazing) Honda white orchid pearl and I want to try a coating quickly on it. Also have a bright red Abarth which is fun to clean and really can show some shine so hoping to make it looke even better with knowledge from here.
That's my basics, I'll be asking questions and reading a ton here I'm sure, thanks!
