So you have never read a C&B and learned something?

Detailing cars is subjective. Put four detailers in a room and you will get eight opinions. But if you want to ban all the DIY folks, I don't know. I'd probably have to find a different forum.

You know you don't HAVE to click the links......

If you were here really looking to learn than you would know that the C&Bs can teach you a lot. I've learned new techniques, what product combinations work on which paint, which look certain products give, etc.

I understand where you're coming from and I sometimes find it annoying too, especially since most of them seem to be pics of every other corvette or European make, but like some of the other folks said: you don't have to look at them. Just bookmark the Forums page instead of the Home page. And yes, sometimes I do look at some C & B's, but only if they have before pics.

I learn a lot from the click and brags. Nice to see what others are using.

I personally find the C&B's to be very educational, as in they typically demonstrate what level of improvement (paint correction, stain removal, etc.) can be achieved with what products and processes.

How often do the C&B's include such comments as "that's exactly the type of finish I'm looking for on my tires....what product did you use?". Or "I've gotten this defect better, but any ideas on how to bring it to the next level?" etc, etc. If that's not learning and conversing, what is?

The C&Bs are a great way to share and learn in my opinion. To each his own I suppose.

Re: Can we remove the click and brag posts from the front page/

That would take away about half of our traffic! we cant do that...

But I agree. I have learned a lot from the C&B's.

And Autopia has a home page? Ive found that going to autopia's home page just adds one more
