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.





The blue accord is mine. :D

:welcome 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. :D

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.
