Well, I want to thank you for the warm welcome! Please pardon me if my search engine answers with 'old' threads.

I am sure that most of you will agree that becoming more mature is part of most evryones life. I too was once a thick headed, pompous, know it all; offended by any mention that I might have not completed anything less than perfect work.

I guess I need to 'pay my dues' here in this forum and also obtain a KUSI type television commercial to have notoriety here in San Diego.

Before 1989 (when there was no two stage clearcoat paint finishes), Car Detailing was a 'no brainer' with a couple of years of experience. Today, the true test of quality is how a vehicle finish looks in bright sunlight after 6 months(and several thousand miles), and 12 to 15 gentle hand washes; after the detail date.

I really tried not to offend anyone during the creation of my original post. I do appreciate any person who can turn back the clock on a black finish; enjoys the challenge, and is proud of their 'artwork'.

Over the past 30 years, I have always been receptive to new ideas to improve my processes, appearance, and longevity. For me closing the door on learning about new tools and tricks, might lead me to burn out or worse than that a income that does not grow.
