"Autopian Thanksgiving!"

BlkTac05 · 11-24-05, 03:58

I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this posted thread, but what the heck.....it's Turkey Day!!
I just wanted to take the time to thank some of my fellow Autopians for all the info, processes & advice I've obtained since I've become an "Autopian". Many thanks to the following peeps: Scottwax,ZaneO,Accumulator,Intercooled,White95Max,BlkZ28Conv,Anthony Orosco,Richt & GSRstilez. (just to name a few) I really have learned something new here everyday!! You guy's make this site a pleasure to be a part of! Happy Holidays to you and your families!

BlkTac05, you are right. Those peple you named are the one's that post threads that are credible, informative, and something that a guy like me uses to judge my own work.

Thanks to all and Happy Thanksgiving!!

cwcad: Before I joined "Autopia Nation", I thought I was "the man" due to my 20+ years of experience. Then I became an "Autopian" & realized that I'm just a little fish in a big, freak'n pond!!! (lol)

20+ years of doing it by hand?! How did you do it!

I had an especially happy thanksgiving. Ended up making $288 in 8 1/2 hours of work at the restaurant. That rotary is calling my name...

Pure passion,really..........At this point, I'm tired of accepting less than "Autopian" results, which is why I just ordered the SFX Polisher Kit a few hours ago. I've spent years polishing by hand, then glazing over whatever flaws I couldn't remove.( on my vehicle & friends/families/customers vehicles) I've finally met my match with my 2005 Toyota Tacoma. The black sand pearl paint is really a b*tch to keep up with. ( it's a daily driver) Detailing really relaxes me. Melts away the stress. It truely is my passion. Life is short......follow your bliss!

Thanks BlkTac!! Hope you had a great day!
I've learned so much over the past two years here! And I don't know squat compared to some of these guys. I'm very thankful for the shared knowledge!

Absolutely. I always look forward to posts from them. Seeing the fantastic cars they work on, their attention to detail, their different techinques and products used has taken my detailing to a whole new level.

Its what Autopia is all about...

BlkTac05, I'm with you. I've come a long way in what I know thanks to all the people here, but I still need lots of guidance. It's funny how I once thought the only polishes/waxes out there were Meguiars, Turtle Wax, and Mothers. Boy was I wrong. I didn't really know all that much about microfiber either until I came to this site.

In the past 4 years here, I have gained an incredible amount of knowledge. I thought I knew a lot, having had my own detailing business for 7 years at that time but I was wrong! Thanks to Autopia, I learned about a plethora of new products and techniques and the joys of the PC.

Thanks to everyone who contributes.
