Old School Autopian Check In !!!

ZJ JIM 96- With a larger (let alone black) vechicle, I can understand the switch to BF. And I bet you *could* come up with justification for a new polisher, just time time savings alone...

Hi Accumulator. I know it`s been a long time since this post, but wanted to say hi.

[Setec Astronomy]

Rydawg!

Rydawg- Hey, Welcome Back! How`ve things been with you?

[Black99miata]

I have continued to mostly lurk here. Really welcome this as a source of good info for a detailing hobbiest.

Welcome back Rydawg !!!!

[Rydawg]

Things have been good. Still busy making cars beautiful as usual.

How`s things with you?

I miss all our long discussions on paint correction. I think we need a reunion with all the old school guys

I haven`t been on this forum in some years. Too much work and too many kids occupying my time. I just bought a foam cannon from walmart and now I`m getting back to detailing (now that I have something fun that kids like to play with). I love using the pressure washer to get rid of most of the dirt and then foaming and sponging to get rid of the rest. Now it only takes me about 20 minutes to do one car. My oldest daughter loves the pressure washer and just loves cleaning sidewalks, paths, walls and an occasional car. My two youngest manage to get about 80% of the foam on the car with the remainder on each other. I just wish the quick connector on the foam cannon was tight on the wand as the other connectors. My collinite 476s and 845 are still good and still about half full after 7 years! Though I haven`t waxed my odyssey in years, the impala ss gets it twice a year.

3puttjay- Welcome back! Yeah, Real Life has a way of interfering with the whole Detailing Thing. Nice that your kids are getting involved and I really think it`s good that your oldest daughter has discovered the pressurewasher!

Thank you for the kind words Accumulator. The kids love washing the car mostly because it earns them $5 apiece and they get to blast away with the pressure washer. My oldest son likes to wax the cars if he gets to use the UDM (yes I still have one) to put on the wax. He is just now getting a drivers license and is really getting into cars. He thinks he`ll get my 96 Impala SS to drive to school (dream on). I`m looking at a volvo S60 for him since he will be driving his 3 other siblings to school instead of his mother.

3puttjay- OOOOH, mid-`90`s B-body! Which color?

I still come back once in awhile to see if my login still works. It shows my membership date moved forward by a few years though. I remember a 2001 date when we moved from whatever crap message board it was before vbulletin. There`s a few guys still on here that remember way back that far. 2004 definitely isn`t right because I still have saved PMs from 2002, so something got changed.
