    Lifelong Detailer with Scars To Prove It

    When I moved to SoCal in 1971 my first job was detailer at Herman Cook VW in Encinitas.

    Learned to used a buffer the hard way.

    Made ALL the rookie mistakes including wrapping the power chord around the spinning shaft and shocking myself so badly I couldn't take my finger off the switch.

    One of the VW line mechanics saw it happen and yanked the chord from the wall.

    Everyone seemed entertained.

    I kept them laughing the first time a windshield wiper arm whipped me like a red-headed stepchild.

    Detailing is in my blood because I donated my blood.
