Steve from Illinois

Hey all!

I have been on the forums for a couple of months but haven’t introduced myself just yet. I live about an hour north of downtown Chicago. I have always loved cars and especially a clean one. I always took it to a fairly decent cloth wash, until I started noticing imperfections in my older car. Those “swinging noodles” in the car wash destroyed my paint. I now have a new car with fresh pain and since having a decon/compound done I haven’t taken it back to the automatic car wash again. I have since purchased a bunch of products and look forward to playing around as a hobby and maybe eventually a side business. Some of you may have seen me in the Autogeek 101 Facebook page, but hello too all! Here is my 18 Honda Accord LX.

Welcome Steve. The car looks great. Your winters are as bad as our New England winters. Check out some of the older threads about winter washing. Some of our colleagues from Sweden and Canada also chime in with advice.
