Re: Inspirational Detailers

Lots of people here. I'm afraid I'd leave someone out if I made a list. If you do good work and good write-ups, you are on the list.

Re: Inspirational Detailers

I just got to thinking about this the other night. And I'm really not sure why it keeps popping back into my head so much. But It seems to me that most of these top shelf guys only detail on the side. Where guys that do this solely as there bread and butter hardly ever get mentioned. (and yes I was mentioned so I'm not including myself) I guess I never understood why someone that only does this as a "Side gig" gets more credibility than someone that does this for their livelyhood. it would seem to me that the full timers would have more knowledge. Probably way off base but it just seems backwards that really only a few of guys mentioned in this entire thread actually detail for a living. to everyone else it's just something to kill a weekend on and make a few extra coins. That was kind of where I was going with this thread (that and to help out a few other guys )

Re: Inspirational Detailers

Kevin Brown - He is the nicest and most pleasant person to talk to. He is extremely humble and would not boast about (at least not to my knowledge) the number of years of experience he's had in the field.

Todd Helmes - Also extremely nice and contributes to the community on both message boards and youtube. What happened to him on Autopia anyway? Great Photoshopping skilzz.

DaveKG - I have no idea how he organizes all those pictures he took, but he manages well. I wonder how he could take such nice pictures of cars.

Scottwax - I first encountered this person as a fellow Nissan Maxima owner on maxima.org... love his youtube vids. The only person on the internet with an avatar of himself detailing with shades on

Many others of course that I did not mention.
