Popping in from So. Cal.

What`s up Good People. Just a guy who like to detail his own stuff but have gotten really in to it. I first picked up a metro blower, then a PC, then a Flex, then a steamer and now finally a Mytee Lite 2. So I love to learn all the time and what better place than from the Pros.

Started as a teen helping a friend, and just always been into keeping my stuff clean. So I feel that if your going to take the time to do something may as well do it right!

Some of my current rides.

1999 tahoe picked it up 2 years ago and cleaned it up, lowered, put wheels on from my truck, blah, blah, blah.

Nice job on your rides, they look good. I have a 96 Tahoe as my work truck.

Welcome to AF first off. Very nice looking rides as well! Nice before and after shot of the van.

Welcome to AF for a guy who only does his own stuff you sure have some nice equipment. The turn around on the van is very nice. You sure brightened it up.

Welcome to AF. Sounds like you have some great equipment for detailing. Nice cars too, the can really cleaned up well and the Tahoe looks great.

Welcome to the forum. Like you I mostly started out doing my own cars as a hobby and really enjoy it. I guess that I enjoy most getting to see the results of your labor. THe end result is always worht the time that it takes to get the job done right. Your cars look great.

Thanks for the warm welcome from everyone, really picking up some good tips here. I think you hit it on the head for me, by day being in sales there is not much satisfaction. But when your done doing whatever it was and you see something that was dirty or damaged and now it looks great, that`s a good feeling.
I think I may have OCD ( obsessive compulsive detailing) because I tried out the new extractor last night, I was only going to the floor mats, but I couldn`t stop had to the whole thing. 3hrs later cleaner carpets than I ever seen in that truck.
Well let`s see what`s next on the wish list of goodies, have a great weekend everyone. :drool:
