Join Date: Nov 2006 Posts: 2 | Hello everyone. My name is Wayne and as you can see I'm new to the forum. Raleigh has been my home for the last three years. Two years ago I bought a '98 Honda Prelude and I love it to death. I've been obsessed with keeping the eight year old paint as clean as possible. One of the things that brings me joy is when people tell me they don't believe the car is eight years old. I know where all the flaws are but unless I point them out the average person doesn't notice them, lol.
I've been more and more interested in learning the art of detailing. So far, I'm self taught, just by doing it and reading. I may be looking into learning how to detail professionally. If anyone in the Raleigh area can give me some insight on how to get my foot in the door then please let me know. What would be the best way to get started so that I might gain some trust with potential customers?
Looks like there's a ton of info on this forum. I hope to learn alot and meet many of you.
Thank You!

-Wayne | Welcome, I love those preludes. We had a 96 VTEC ssince it was new and had to sell it this year.  The grad student at Duke fell in love with the car so I know it is in good hands. I am in Durham but if you need some help let me know.

The other day I was applying my new P21s wax and noticed one heck of a reflection on the trunk. I'll have to clean her up again this weekend and try to snap some pics of that! Thanks again.

I have a cust coming from Fayetteville in two weeks because he can't find a good detailer in his area and a friend recommended me. If you can't find someone local let me know. | |
