Hello from paul9luap

[paul9luap]

My name is Paul and I'm addicted to automotive detailing. I'm a full time student at Purdue majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I"m a 4th year, but technically a junior. I went to high school in Overland Park, KS.

I was recommended this forum by Scottwax and have been lurking for about the last 6 months. I post on Offtopic.com, Show and Shine occassionally, Honda-Tech.com, and PurdueOnline.com

These are the products the trunk of my car has collected over the past year.

Detailing Products
Porter Cable 7336 from Lowes
Meguiars #83 DACP
Meguiars #34 QD
Meguiars #03 Machine Glaze
Meguiars #16 Pro Paste Wax
Meguiars # 26 Hi Tech Wax
Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo and Conditioner
Meguiars 6.5" Foam Buff pads

Mothers Clay Bar

S100 Shine Enhansing Cleanser
S100 Carnuba Wax

Turtle Wax Formula 2001

I guess that's all I can think of off the top of my head. I don't really use the S100 stuff anymore. My next purchase will be some Sonus pads or maybe some from Excel, who knows, I'm poor right now. Haha. Here's a few pictures of some of my friend's and family's cars I've done in the last two months.

to Autopia paul9luap!

Congrats on making it four years into ME at Purdue. Not much farther now, you'll be done before you know it.

Maybe I'll run into you and mdsmithers next time I visit my sister in Blue Springs. Look for me, I'll be driving the swirled-up POS rental.

I know, right? Everybody says that. In reality, I got my car when it was two years old. My sister got her bmw when it was about 8 years old. At the time of purchase for each car, the price was almost identical.

Thanks for the replies everybody.
