Who is your favorite detailer or most inspired by?

I know this is a tough question with all the great detailers here. I just thought this would be a fun thread and to also make the top pros feel good with recognition.

Who is your favorite detailer or detailers and who also inspires you?
You can have as many as you want.

Me being a pro with tons of experience, I still try to inspire myself (not much fun staring at your own pictures though), but it's always fun to be inspired by others work too. It puts the fun into detailing and makes you push harder and harder to succeed to the top. I really enjoy a bunch of other detailers work here.

No matter how much of a pro you are, you still have to be inspired by someone else, or your not human

Keep up the great work everyone

Thanks
Ryan

Scott, and Justin. Seeing their turnarounds from offtopic.com and new found pride of ownership in my car together got me into detailing as a hobby.

Re: Who is your favorite detailer or most inspired by?

Man there is a lot of them.

When I first started back on Meguiar's online I used to really look up to Superior Shine for his amazing work (still admire it).

I definetly look up to Rydawg for his amazing correction abilities and his skill to get paint perfect.

I love reading 01bluecls's posts, they are like opening Christmas presents with great photography and amazing cars (not to mention awesome detailing).

I am also on the Zaino bandwagon so I find myself studying a lot of the Zaino head thread such as mgm, rydawg, gmblack3a, ect....

I cannot single out anybody but there are a lot of great detailers on this site who I love to view thier work and aspire for it!

Re: Who is your favorite detailer or most inspired by?

There are way too many great detailers around this forum. Scott, Anthony, Dean, etc. etc.

I think I'll mention Accumulator though. I've never seen any pictures of his work or anything, but he has a TON of posts and every one of them is helpful.

Octane Guy, Mike Phillips, rydawg, th0001, Totoland Mach, Superior Shine

I'm sure I've missed a few people that I can't think of right now. A huge thanks to all of you for posting to help us.

There are definitely quite a few on here, but for me, ScottWax is who I look up to the most here.

Kevin Hamill...he hasn't been around much lately.

Accumulator has been a huge help and I'd really like if he posted a couple pictures of his cars every now and then.
