The start of an addiction

Heyo I'm Chris, I'm 21 young I know. Well anyways a little about me. I've had beaters for the past 5 years or so, I don't think any of them saw wax or a polish. Well things have fallen in line and I picked up a Subaru Impreza about a month ago.




It started with a bottle of dish soap as my car wash. Turns out it does a lot of damage if not done right. Bought one thing here then another. Ran out of room and needed organization, went to the hardware store, they had a flimsy aluminum wheeled cart that bent as I touched it. So I built a wheeled cart. This thing will survive a tornado.





Anyways thats me. Sorry in advance if i ask newbie questions I'll try my best to find the answers first from searching

--Chris

Chris--Welcome!

You look like you are on the right track. There are plenty of people here who can answer whatever questions you have. I like the blue on your Subie.

And, I love the cart! It looks like it would withstand nuclear attack!!!

Re: The start of an addiction

Thank you, I love this color of the blue as well. My apartment complex was throwing out some used lumber 2x4's and 3/4" plywood. A bit overkill but at 100% free I'm not complaining. I have my first powered equipment on order a PC 7424. There are some bird droppings and scratches that a clay-bar could not get out. So hopefully that will.
