This is something that happened yesterday so I took the liberty to snap some photos. It actually worked out really nice because for the demo we need something in really bad condition.
My natural tendency is to take whatever is the topic at hand and if it lends itself to use on the forum then I use it. It's been working well for a long time... in fact, I was surprised at how many people I met at SEMA last year that said things like,
"I've been reading your articles for years"
Leaders in business that you might think never even get on a forum...
Pretty interesting...

Re: Tunnel Car Wash Brush Scratches
You don't know how funny this topic can be.
Last winter I had a rental car for six weeks while working on a clients documentary project.
My neighbors saw me not only washing it, but doing a two stage correction, interior steam clean and detail, but I even put it up on my lift and pressure washed the undercairrage. The only place I drew the line was in the final wax application. I refused to use up my Fuzion so I went with Megs NXT.
I got out of my driveway just before the men in the white coats came to take me away.

I hope we are not running out of ideas. That's what I was talking about on my dark blue Jag. Ordered some Nattys blue ect so we will see.

Re: Tunnel Car Wash Brush Scratches
Just to note...
Another thing I thought was interesting at SEMA last year was how many people I met in the auto industry of whom I had never met previously and of course I didn't know their names... but a lot of these people knew my name primarily from reading online detailing discussion forums.
The point being to anyone reading this, if you want some type of extended career in this industry then consider using your real name on forums like this for the reasons I layout in the below articles...
Brand Yourself, Brand your Forum Nickname and Brand your Business Name
How to choose a name for your detailing business
You don't have to use your entire name, maybe something like Bill W. or B Williams, or any combination that your comfortable with. But if you're posting a lot and hoping to create a "name" for yourself, then it's just my opinion that trying to brand a forum nickname is not the best way to leverage your time and efforts. It can be done but in the real world you'll end up having to explain "who you are" via your nickname. Kind of awkward in a professional environment.
Most people reading this have careers outside the auto industry so a forum nickname is perfectly fine and the norm... but again... if you're wanting to find some kind of niche in the auto industry, especially the online auto industry, then read the two articles above as cyber-food for thought...
For what it's worth...

Mike don't take this wrong but I think it more or less goes along with your job at at AG and when you were with Megs. Those people more then likely wouldn't have a clue who you are if you didn't work for the two mentioned companies. I have been on detailing forums for a long time and I honestly had no idea who you were when it was announced that you were coming to AG.
On another note I couldn't use my name as my username, as it is too many people confuse me with the AG and DC Dwayne.

Re: Tunnel Car Wash Brush Scratches
To your fist point, completely makes sense... there still has to be an interest level in the general topic to start with... this applies to an article as well as a write-up on a detail project...

Sometimes a good name is already taken...

Dammit, my name is Mike! Does this mean I have to change it so I can one day be as famous as you Mike?
