Hello everyone, after browsing these forums over the past couple months I finally signed up and wanted to introduce myself! I`m a complete car nut, certifiable even...I`ve spent more money on cars in my life than anything else (with one possible exception being my mortgage, but it would be a close call!). I`ve always loved keeping my vehicles clean, and my perfectionist tendencies have really kicked into overdrive this year.
I worked for a major auto manufacturer doing sales for just shy of 5 years before resigning in April, and I decided it was time for me to be my own boss. As I considered my options, I ultimately decided that my passion for cars (and motorcycles) along with my obsession with detailing vehicles for myself, family, and friends would be a route worth pursuing as a business venture. I bought a new car and immediately started researching how to protect it from the elements here in CO, and that`s when I started to dive into the rabbit hole of coatings...I ended up deciding to have PPF installed on the whole front end and sideskirts, and to continue researching coatings as I wanted to apply it myself. From there, I began studying up on paint correction, bought a GG6, and spent a week in California taking classes to further my education and advance my skills.
Upon returning, I started working on the business side of things and bought a domain, worked with a designer to create my logo, and set up a business FB and Instagram page. Currently studying SEO and marketing so that I can kick that component into overdrive next. I also took on my most challenging project thus far (a heavily neglected 2002 VW Golf, I`ll try to get some pics up in the appropriate place), and I`m about to start with my first coatings (I`ve got a set of freshly powdercoated wheels anxiously waiting).
I have to give a HUGE shout-out to both Budget and Richy for being a wealth of knowledge, their posts were a big part of how I ended up here. Thanks for taking the time to read all this, I`m excited to be part of such an awesome online community!
