    Hi from the Bay Area

    Hi All!

    Finally joining the forum after years of ordering stuff from Autogeek. I’ve been detailing cars as a hobby for at least 15+ years. Out here in the Bay Area where the cost of anything in sq. ft. is absolutely insane, I’ve only got my little driveway to work with, but necessity breeds some unique innovations, detailing techniques and viewing angles during/after detailing jobs... Anyways, I’m here because I want to improve my techniques and help others do the same. There’s always something new to learn with this hobby (and profession for some folks).

    Cars:
    2013 Audi S4 – 6-Spd Manual | Monsoon Grey

    Go Fast Bits: 034 Motorsport Stage II w/57.70 mm SC Pulley | AWE Touring Exhaust | Integrated Engineering Intake | 034 Lowering Springs | Bilstein B8 Shocks | 034 Front Control Arm Kit | 034 Transmission, Subframe and Rear Diff Carrier Mount Inserts | Stock peeler rims with spacers wrapped in Michelin PS4Ss.

    The Wife – 2019 Subaru WRX | WR Blue of course

    Latest Detail:
    2019 WRX
    Exterior: Chemical Guys Honeydew Foaming Soap | Adam’s Iron Remover | Mother’s Speed Clay 2.0 | Meguiar’s M105 + LC Orange Pad (for tougher defects) | Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover + LC Orange Pad | Pinnacle Liquid Souveran | ONR | Poor Boy’s World Tire Gel | Griot’s Wheel Cleaner | 303 Aerospace Protectant | probably some other stuff I’m forgetting...
    Interior: ONR | 303 Aerospace Protectant | Stoner’s Glass Cleaner

    Goals:
    -I’d like to try my hand at more aggressive paint correction, such as wet sanding.
    -I’d planning a big job for my BIL’s Ford F-150, which has never been detailed. There are deep scratches and paint defects I’d like to be able to tackle.
    -Application of true ceramic coatings.
