Where in Missouri do you live?

I guess it's time to quit lurking. South City boy (close enough to the White Castles on Grand and Gravois I can smell them when I'm mowing my lawn) , and after hand detailing for 3 years, I'm finally jumping into the PC end of the pool. If you guys haven't been out to Meguiar's web site, there's great detailing info over ther (with videos). An `03 Mustang GT ragtop in redfire metalflake, and a silver metalfalke 06 Honda pilot ( A LOT of real estate !) So trust me when I say automation is a help. Detail class ? Let's get it on . . . .

Sorry, I'm in KC, not sure what's available in STL.

I did get married at the Catholic church in Wash U, nice area there.

Welcome Bob and Cliff, seems like a lot more STL folks here than KC.

Not any place in particular, mostly just find a touchless place you can run though to get the worst of it off.

I'm mourning the loss of my garage when I moved up here at the beginning of summer, but I'll probably keep on washing my car on my own with ONR on days when it's hopefully at least above freezing. It helps to start with a warm bucket of water and frankly, going over the car with a wool mitt does a better job of getting off road grime than the typical touchless wash. I was out QDing my car today, even knowing that the storm is rolling in tonight. It was just repainted a couple of weeks ago, but knowing there's a good chance of salt on the roads before the week's out, I went ahead and put 3 coats of 2180 on the paint. It's supposed to be new paint safe and I felt I needed the protection.

If you like to do your own detailing, check out ONR or QEW so you can do your own winter washes with just a bucket and WW if you haven't tried that route already.

If you'd like to try some out or just get together sometime, drop me a PM.

Scott: I initially looked at buying a Bullitt, but ended up with an 03 Mach 1. I show the car in most of the local car shows when I have time. But this year, I've got a part-time job detailing late model used BMW's for a reseller and that will probably consume a ton of weekend time.

Good to know you online!

Florissant MO here. I've been a member for a few months now, but somehow just came across this post. Glad to see others in the area on here.

I like my Bullitt, but I wish it had more power...like your Mach 1.
Just bought a PC 7336, so my career begins in motorized detailing. Looks like a good website for info. Let me know what shows you plan to attend and maybe I'll have a car there too. Scott

Scott: I'm trying to find time to prep my car for World of Wheels show. The BMW detailing is keeping me pretty busy each weekend because the dealer wants a stock of detailed cars for spring sales.

Hopefully, we can hook up somewhere. I also go to the KC-Mustangs functions when I can.
