Who is your favorite detailer or most inspired by?

[TH0001]

My new list...

In no order whatsoever...

01BlueCLS- Chris doesn't post here, but his write ups and his attention to detail were a role model to how I wanted to detail. I, like many, used to emulate his threads (which are still amongst the best ever on this site) and if I wasn't busy/lazy I would still do it.

Rydawg- Seriously Ryan has forgotten more about polishing then most will ever know and is my go to guy when I run into a problem. The late night discussions about carrier, oils, and abrasive structures will never get old.

Picus- Kevin doesn't post here much and I haven't seen a click and brag from in a while, but his work is always inspirational and his photography is stunning. I demand another Picus c n'b.

VASuperShine- Brian is an amazingly sarcastic person, a good friend, and a great detailer. He does look like big bird, but I forgive him :P

GMBlack3A- Bryan is an amazing detailer who refuses to stop learning. Plus he loves to buy all the new stuff and tell me about it before I spend my money on it, which is great. Still waiting on the review on the power sander.

G35Stilez- Sean doesn't post as much as he used, but is an amazingly talented detailer.

extrememike- Um he worked on a friggin Zonda!!!!!

ScottWax- Although we disagree on about everything , I find Scott to be a very humble, hard working guy who loves what he does and is always striving to get better even though he is super experienced and has been doing it a long time. For most detailers 10 years of experience means 1 month of experience x 120.

SuperiorShine (Superior Fine)- Not only is Joe one of the coolest guys ever, but reading his click and brags over on MOL is what originally made me want to detail full time.

baseballlover1- Seriously, at 15 years old this "kid" has his act together and one of the better detailers on this forum, probably soon to be the best.

I'm gonna have to say Got_Leather

Thanks Todd. I have to say your business model and obsessive (I use that in a good way) dedication to perfection are definitely something I *know* most pro detailers aspire to. So thumbsup.

That said, I'm taking a long break on the c n'b thing. I know some guys might not understand, but I know you do.

This is going to sound selfish, but my favorite detailer is me.

Why? Because I am very proud and constantly inspired by how much I have grown in not just my skill level with detailing but also my business sense over the past 5 years of running this business.

I used to be nervous and unsure when I went out to jobs, but now I'm a lot more confident even with the most intense jobs (detailing dump trucks, 1982 Chevy, soccer mom vans, severely swirled black hard paint, etc.).

I definitely have to give majority of my growth to what I have learned right here on Autopia over the years. I've learned everything from how to put my trailer setup together to how to properly clean wheels and so much more.

Even after 5 years of being a member here, I still come here to not just sometimes give advice or inspiration, but also be on the receiving end.
